Claim for judicial review of the decision of the Secretary of State for Justice refusing to quash findings of guilt against the claimant arising out of two internal adjudications at HMP Bure. The principal complaint raised by the original claim was that the claimant had been found guilty in circumstances where he had been denied access to legal advice as a result of the secure PIN-phone system in operation at HMP Bure. This was a system which required the first defendant’s prior approval of all numbers that may be rung by a serving prisoner. In response to the claim, the defendants took the threshold point that permission to bring judicial review should be refused because there was an alternative remedy, namely a reference or application to the Interested Party
