Parole and other release from detention - Release - Procedures for certain hearings

50: Decisions must be notified

You could also call this:

"The people involved must be told about the decision made after a hearing."

Illustration for Parole Act 2002

When you have a hearing, the people who were told about it under section 43(2) must be told some things. You must be told if the offender is being released from detention and when. You must also be told about any conditions the offender must follow when they are released. If the Board decides not to let the offender out on parole, you must be told when the offender will be considered for parole again. You must also be told about any activities the offender must do and that the hearing might be moved forward if they finish these activities early. If the Board makes a postponement order, you must be told when the offender will be considered for parole again and about any activities they must do. You must also be told that the hearing might be moved forward if they finish these activities early. When the Board tells a victim about the conditions the offender must follow, they might not tell them everything if it would interfere with someone else's privacy.

Release: Procedures for certain hearings

50Decisions must be notified

  1. After a hearing, every person who was notified under section 43(2) must be advised of—

  2. whether, and, if so, when, the offender is to be released from detention; and
    1. any release conditions applying to the offender; and
      1. if the Board has declined to direct the release of the offender on parole,—
        1. the date by which the offender must be further considered for parole; and
          1. the relevant activities (if any) specified under section 21A(b); and
            1. notice that the hearing may be brought forward if all of the relevant activities have been completed earlier than expected; and
            2. if the Board has made a postponement order,—
              1. the date by which the offender must further be considered for parole; and
                1. the relevant activities (if any) specified under section 27(4); and
                  1. notice that the hearing may be brought forward if all of the relevant activities have been completed earlier than expected.
                  2. When advising a victim under this section of any release conditions applying to an offender, the Board may withhold advice of a particular condition if disclosing the condition would unduly interfere with the privacy of any other person (other than the offender).
