Standing Order 244, authorised by regulation 77(4) of the Prison Rules, lawfully permits cell searches as a reasonable security measure and does not contravene the Bill of Rights given s.9; the applicant failed to substantiate any improper motive for searches and was refused leave to rely on that new ground; medical records established the applicant received appropriate treatment, there was no credible evidence of rheumatoid arthritis, and requests for outside medicines were unjustified or unlawful; accordingly the judicial review application is dismissed with costs.
