HARTLEY v ATTORNEY-GENERAL SUED IN RESPECT OF THE DEPARTMENT OF CORRECTIONS [2019] NZHC 1727

- Court
- High Court
The SOL suite made available to voluntary segregated prisoners met the statutory and NZBORA threshold of 'adequate facilities' because access was restricted to segregated-unit prisoners (addressing safety), data access was authenticated and centrally stored with daily backups (addressing data security), and courts will not direct specific operational resource allocations of prison managers where safety and security are implicated; accordingly the judicial review application was dismissed.
