Although, a recent judicial review permission decision which I will post soon (not publicly available) says people aren’t detained (strictly ‘deprived of liberty’) despite being stuck in a guarded hotel room with 15 mins exercise in the car park per day. I think that’s wrong

Here is the judgment in Khalid - permission decision (first stage of Judicial Review). Mr Justice Linden held that hotel quarantine (which for most people is 23 hrs 45 mins per day stuck in a guarded room) is not even arguably a deprivation of liberty (!) …ughtystreetchambers-my.sharepoint.com/:b:/g/personal…

This decision, which I think is wrong, will be challenged through the new hotel quarantine Judicial Review which is referred to in the thread.
