- HCAL188/2016
SO 56-01 does engage protected rights of communication and privacy under BL 30 and BOR 14, but the statutory and factual context, the SOs' case-by-case approval mechanism, accompanying monitoring procedures and resource considerations render the interference justified and proportionate; the application procedure affords sufficient opportunity to be heard; SO 56-01 is not ultra vires and the differential treatment under SO 58-17 for prisoners with overseas family is objectively and reasonably justified, consequently the judicial review is dismissed.
