Regina v Secretary of State for the Home Department and Another, Ex Parte Allen: CA 10 Mar 2000

No right arose in favour of a prisoner to see the document upon which a decision to refuse him early release under a home detention and curfew scheme had been made, nor to make representations before completion of the assessment. No procedural unfairness had then arisen. He had a right to appeal, and that hearing would take place on a de novo basis, with the prisoner then having enhanced right of access and to make representations. The scheme was a non-statutory scheme where it was open to the Home Secretary to lay out the rules.
