Parole Review/Refusal

All prisoners subject to parole are entitled to submit representations to the Parole Board, and in some case are entitled to an oral hearing. Up to 18 documents and reports can be contained in your Parole Dossier and we will thoroughly review these documents before making representations, on your behalf, to the Parole Board. A solicitor from our Prison Law Department, experienced in parole applications, will represent you personally at any oral hearing.

Strictly there is no right of appeal against a decision to refuse parole but it may be possible to challenge the decision by an action for judicial review in certain circumstances. Again, it is vital to receive legal advice.
