On 29 July 2014, Hanna Legal represented our client at his appeal against the decision of the State Parole Authority to refuse him parole.

The appeal included a ground that the State Parole Authority had denied our client procedural fairness by refusing to allow our client to view or respond to secret intelligence tendered by Correctives Services against him at his original parole hearing.

The appeal was successful and the Supreme Court ordered that our client was entitled to a new parole hearing and that he should at least be permitted to view a summary of the secret intelligence evidence.

The Supreme Court also ordered that the State Parole Authority pay our client’s legal costs in relation to the appeal.
