The report records the work carried out by the Board last year to achieve our aim of making risk assessments that are rigorous, fair and timely while protecting the public and contributing to the rehabilitation of prisoners. During the past year we have faced the challenge of a continuing rise in our oral hearings caseload along with a critical shortage of members, and in particular judicial members, to hear those cases. The coming year also promises to be a challenging one as we work to reduce the backlog of outstanding oral hearings cases and at the same time manage changes that may result from the public consultation by the Ministry of Justice on our future status. No matter where our future landing place lies, the Board will continue to focus on maintaining the highest standards of case management and decision making as part of our core mission of working with others to protect the public. I am pleased to say that the Board’s Accounts have once again received an unqualified certificate from the Comptroller and Auditor General. Yours sincerely The Rt Hon Sir David Latham Chairman Mission Statement The Parole Board is an independent body that works with its criminal justice partners to protect the public by risk assessing prisoners to decide whether they can be safely released into the community Parole Board for England and Wales Grenadier House 99-105 Horseferry Road London, SW1P 2DX Enquiries: 0845 251 2220 Fax: 0845 251 2221 E-mail: [email protected] Website: www.paroleboard.gov.uk Annual Report and Accounts 2009/10 3 Contents About the Board 4 Chairman’s Foreword 8 Chief Executive’s Review of the Year 10 Key Statistics 12 Diary of the Year 2009/10 13 Public Accounts Committee 14 Future landing place 15 Casework 16 Quality and standards 17 Performance and development 18 Legal challenge 19 Public confidence 21 Performance 26 Statistics 31 Statement of Accounts 48 Membership of the Parole Board 84 Glossary 100 4 Annual Report and Accounts 2009/10 About the Parole Board What is the Parole Board?

    The Honourable Society of the Middle Temple Middle Society Honourable the The of 2019 Issue 59 Michaelmas 2019 Issue 59 Women Readers of Middle Temple Celebrating 100 Years of Women at Middle Temple The Incorporated Council of Law Reporting for England and Wales Practice Note (Relevance of Law Reporting) [2019] ICLR 1 Catchwords — Indexing of case law — Structured taxonomy of subject matter — Identification of legal issues raised in particular cases — Legal and factual context — “Words and phrases” con- strued — Relevant legislation — European and International instruments The common law, whose origins were said to date from the reign of King Henry II, was based on the notion of a single set of laws consistently applied across the whole of England and Wales. A key element in its consistency was the principle of stare decisis, according to which decisions of the senior courts created binding precedents to be followed by courts of equal or lower status in later cases. In order to follow a precedent, the courts first needed to be aware of its existence, which in turn meant that it had to be recorded and published in some way. Reporting of cases began in the form of the Year Books, which in the 16th century gave way to the publication of cases by individual reporters, known collectively as the Nominate Reports. However, by the middle of the 19th century, the variety of reports and the variability of their quality were such as to provoke increasing criticism from senior practitioners and the judiciary. The solution proposed was the establishment of a body, backed by the Inns of Court and the Law Society, which would be responsible for the publication of accurate coverage of the decisions of senior courts in England and Wales.
