Evidence Before the Parole Board: R (Bailey & Another) v Secretary of State for Justice [2023] EWHC 555 (Admin); [2023] WLR(D) 130.

Rule 2(22) was therefore meant to place blame (if things went wrong and a high-profile offender committed a further offence or having been released by the Parole Board) upon the Parole Board and not upon the SSJ or other politicians. Rule 2(22) of the 2022 rules amended the Parole Board Rules 2019 (SI 2019/1038) (the "2019 rules") and came into effect on 21 July 2022 (r. 1(2)).
