By this claim for judicial review, the Claimant, a prisoner returned from Thailand, challenges the decision of the Secretary of State for Justice (‘the Defendant’) of 3 April 2020 refusing to treat him as a ‘transferred life prisoner’ and accordingly declining to refer his case to the High Court, in accordance with s.273(1) of the Criminal Justice Act (‘CJA 2003’), for a minimum tariff to be fixed before he could (subject to the view of the Parole Board) be released on licence for life.
