You could also call this:

"How a review panel meets and makes decisions"

Illustration for Public Safety (Public Protection Orders) Act 2014

When you are part of a review panel, you need to have a certain number of people at a meeting to make decisions. You must have at least 3 members, including the chairperson or deputy chairperson, a health assessor, and someone with experience in the New Zealand Parole Board who is not a health assessor. The decision is made by the majority of members at the meeting. You make a decision based on the people who are there.

When the review panel meets, you can look at any information you think is relevant. This information might not normally be allowed in court, but you can still consider it. You can also decide how you want to run your meetings.
