49A: Adjournment to obtain further information

You could also call this:

"Putting a hearing on hold to get more information before making a decision"

Illustration for Parole Act 2002

If the Parole Board puts a hearing on hold to get more information, this rule applies to you. The Board can finish the hearing and make a decision without you being there, but you have the right to attend and speak to the Board. You are allowed to make oral submissions, which means you can talk to the Board and give them your thoughts.
