R (on the application of Kane) v The Secretary of State for Justice

26/07/2023


Citation
[2023] EWCA Civ 842
Dates of case
14.07.2023

The Court of Appeal (Bean, Thirlwall and Peter Jackson LJJ) held that rule 53A of the Prison Rules did not impose a requirement for a Governor to give reasons in every case in which they determine that the “so serious” charge has been met. Although the PSI provided a gloss to the rule, the Court accepted that there were certain cases where it might be obvious from the nature of the charge or the particulars given on the charge sheet that the “so serious” test was satisfied.
