The Claimant, a serving life prisoner, completed his minimum custodial term in 2010. He had still not yet been released. He contended that he was not provided with a place in open conditions and subsequently a place on temporary licence overnight in premises approved under section 13 of the 2007 Act, because, in breach of his domestic law duties and obligations under the European Convention on Human Rights, the Secretary of State had failed to make reasonable provision for systems and resources to enable life and other indeterminate sentence prisoners such as they require to demonstrate that they no longer present an unacceptable risk to the public.
