[2003] EWHC 3152 (Admin)

A decision by the secretary of state whether or not to designate a prisoner as a technical lifer was not a sentencing exercise and accordingly the European Convention on Human Rights 1950 Art.6 had not applied. A refusal to grant the claimant technical lifer status was lawful and rational in light of the material presented.
