Although some procedural shortcomings existed (notably limited original reasoning on family proximity and an unhelpful reference to the applicant's use of the complaints system), those defects were not material; the decision to refuse transfer fell within the wide discretion afforded by s54 of the Corrections Act and was not unlawful, unreasonable or in breach of natural justice, so the court will not set it aside.
