Between:

GARY MCKINNON Claimant
v
SECRETARY OF STATE FOR THE HOME DEPARTMENT Defendant

This Oral Hearing rejected the legal submissions about the inhumane conditions of US Federal Supermax prison conditions, but it did consider the impact of the Asperger's Syndrome diagnosis..

It also explains what the Director of Public Prosecutions may or may not be doing at the moment - N.B. the mid-February estimate of a decision by the DPP has already been passed.

The Judges set a Judicial Review hearing date on the Asperger's Syndrome aspects, to be held some time after 16th March 2009.
