- High Court
Corrections' decisions to increase and thereafter reduce the applicant's security classification complied with the statutory framework and permitted procedures, did not breach NZBORA rights or principles of natural justice, and were not so unreasonable as to warrant judicial intervention; the reconsideration mechanism remedied any concerns and reputational risk alone cannot justify an override to maximum security.
