Parole Oral Hearings
Prison Law
If granted an Oral Hearing the Parole Board are going to hear your case at a formal Parole Board Hearing .
Since the advent of COVID the Board moved to running many of its hearings via a Video Link and has retained that as an effective way to deal with cases .
However it is not suitable for all hearings and if you are vulnerable or have communication difficulties the Board will opt for a face to face hearing .
Steps Prior to an Oral Hearing
If granted an oral hearing a number of steps will be undertaken by us :
- We will review the Parole Board directions and advise on a case strategy of what needs to happen and when
- We will consider with you whether any independent expert reports are required such as psychologists or psychiatrists
- Your full instructions will be taken on the evidence to be heard by the Board
- We will monitor progress in listing your case and if there is a delay in getting you a hearing date we will push for a timely review . If necessary we will use the judicial review procedure to secure that .
- We will continue to monitor the evidence and the case and prepare fully for your hearing
- Arrangements will be made to secure a pre hearing conference with you wherever possible and on the day of your hearing we will have a pre hearing telephone call or video link
- We will advise you about outcomes once we get the Parole Decision and where possible will challenge any adverse decision
- We will be ready to support you on any subsequent reviews
We have an established team who are highly experienced in Oral Hearings together with access to a range of experts and specialist barristers where we cannot undertake your actual hearing .
We look forward to your instructions and helping you with your progress towards release
