[2010] EWHC 1780 (Admin)

A decision by the parole board refusing to hold an oral hearing when considering a life prisoner's transfer to open prison conditions was quashed as, in the circumstances, the European Convention on Human Rights 1950 art.5(4) and the requirements of procedural fairness had required such a hearing.
