The general rule that no disciplinary hearing under the Prison Rules 1999 should be heard in public was not contrary to European Convention on Human Rights 1950, Art.6(1) as that right was not absolute and there was a distinction between disciplinary proceedings against convicted prisoners and ordinary proceedings.
