This news item appears on:
14/01/23: Provision of tribunal reasons to victims — The High Court has decided that the tribunal's previous blanket policy of refusing to provide reasons to victims was unlawful; the further refusal decision made during the JR proceedings was also unlawful and had failed to engage with the purpose of the open justice principle; and a refusal to provide a gist of the reasons when the Parole Board would provide this in similar circumstances is unlawful discrimination. See R (Maher) v First-tier Tribunal (Mental Health) [2023] EWHC 34 (Admin).
