A youth had been remanded into the care of the local authority pending his trial. He was eventually made subject to a custodial sentence and sought to have the period of remand deducted from his sentence. The period in care had not been in a secure environment but a strict regime of curfews and otherwise had applied. The court held that such a remand did not operate to restrict his liberty and the time was not to be deducted.
