The prisoner sought judicial review of a decision to reclassify him from category D to category C, with a consequent move from open to closed prison conditions. The original reason given was inadequate but had been amplified, and related to a suspicion that he had been encouraging prisoners to cmplain against their wishes. He had not had opportunity to challenge the decision initially, but had not objected subsequently when given the extended reasons.
Held: Despite the first reasons being inadequate, there was no remaining procedural impropriety, and review was refused.
