- Court
- High Court
Moving the plaintiff to the ARU and subjecting him to the ARU regime that removed his opportunity to associate with other prisoners amounted to de facto segregation in breach of the Corrections Act segregation provisions; absence of a privacy screen in D Block breached Regulations; other complaints did not establish breaches of NZBORA s9 or s23(5) and did not warrant damages, though a declaration was required to vindicate the statutory right.
