Kelly v Ministry of Justice [2014] EWHC 3440 (QB), [2014] All ER (D) 253 (Oct)
The claimant was a serving prisoner. He claims that was detained in degrading conditions, in that the sanitation system required him at times to urinate and defecate in a bucket in his cell. That treatment, he says, was in breach of Art 3 of the European Convention on Human Rights. The Queen’s Bench Division held that the issue had been decided by the case of Grant v Ministry of Justice [2014] All ER (D) 152 (Dec) and the claimant’s case was not distinguishable from that case.
