[2020] EWCA Crim 176
When considering whether it was appropriate to impose an extended sentence on an offender who had already been recalled on licence in relation to an indeterminate sentence imposed for other offences, the fact that the offender had been recalled and the effect on the early release provisions was irrelevant. Insofar as there were conflicting Court of Appeal decisions on that point, R. v Smith (Nicholas) [2011] UKSC 37 was to be followed.
[2019] EWCA Crim 1005
CA (Crim Div) (Haddon-Cave LJ, Goss J, Judge Kinch QC)
A judge had erred in stating that the sentence he imposed on an offender who had been convicted following a retrial would start on the day he was sentencing him. In accordance with the Criminal Appeal Act 1968 Sch.2 para.2(3), the sentence should have commenced from the date the equivalent sentence passed following the original trial would have begun.
[2019] EWHC 488 (Admin)
The secretary of state had been entitled not to order the deportation under the Tariff-Expired Removal Scheme of an Irish national whose minimum term of a sentence of imprisonment for public protection had expired.
[2019] EWHC 116 (Admin)
The Parole Board’s refusal to re-release a prisoner on licence or to transfer him to open prison conditions was quashed. There had been no separate consideration of the possibility of transfer, and the decision regarding release on licence contained numerous errors or omissions which fatally undermined the reliability of the conclusion.
CA (Civ Div) (Sir Brian Leveson PQBD, Davis LJ, Lewison LJ)
[2017] EWCA Crim 1464
CA (Crim Div) (Gross LJ, Spencer J, Judge Marson QC)
A sexual harm prevention order should not be made for an indefinite period without careful consideration. All concerned in making such orders should be alert to the fact that the effect of an order of longer duration than the relevant statutory notification requirements had the effect of extending the operation of those requirements. Inadvertent extension of the requirements was to be avoided.
[2017] EWHC 1948 (Admin)
QBD (Admin) (Lang J)
The secretary of state was not obliged to exercise his power under the Legal Aid, Sentencing and Punishment of Offenders Act 2012 s.128 as a means of relaxing the Parole Board’s test for releasing prisoners serving existing sentences of imprisonment for public protection, following the abolition prospectively of such sentences from December 2012. Given the difficulties in finding a suitable alternative release test, the secretary of state was entitled to instead improve the operation of those sentences to enable more prisoners to meet the conditions for release.
[2017] EWCA Crim 1052
CA (Crim Div) (Sir Brian Leveson PQBD, Thirlwall LJ, Gilbart J)
The imposition of a sentence of imprisonment for public protection on the appellant shortly before the introduction of new legislation which prevented the passing of such a sentence on offenders in his position had not given rise to a breach of ECHR art.7 or the lex mitior principle.
