Court of Appeal refuses appeal and upholds the High Court's decision that a solicitor's indefinite exclusion from a prison, following complaints of unprofessional behaviour towards staff, was invalid due to a failure to afford due process, on the grounds that the solicitor was not given an opportunity to respond to the allegations or attend a fair hearing; and the original decision to exclude the solicitor was disproportionate and not justified by the alleged behavior, even if taken at its height.
