[2006] EWCA Civ 1779

The secretary of state was permitted by the Criminal Justice Act 1991 s.32(6) to give directions to the Parole Board so as to give guidance as to legally relevant matters for it to take into account in discharging its duty to determine whether to order a prisoner's release from jail under the Crime (Sentences) Act 1997 s.28(6) . The judge below had erred in granting a declaration to the contrary.
