SMITH v CHIEF EXECUTIVE OF DEPARTMENT OF CORRECTIONS [2020] NZHC 1597
- Citation
- [2020] NZHC 1597
- Court
- High Court
The CPP is lawful and authorised by statute; its threshold operates as an initial alert appropriate for prison management because it is followed by individualised assessment and application/review processes; procedural features complained of (no pre‑flag notice, workflow manager panels, absence of prisoner consultation, inclusion of charges or historical convictions) do not render the policy unreasonable or unlawful; the judicial review application is dismissed.
