Denial of access to a legal adviser shall be subject to independent review without delay. Rule 120 1. The entitlements and modalities governing the access of an untried prisoner to his or her legal adviser or legal aid provider for the purpose of his or her defence shall be governed by the same principles as outlined in rule 61. 32/33
