Zouaoui, Application for Reconsideration by,

   This is an application by Zouaoui (the Applicant) for reconsideration of a decision of a Panel of the Parole Board, dated the 6 March 2023, following a video-link oral hearing, on 16 December 2022. The decision of the Panel was not to direct release. The case was formally adjourned at the conclusion of evidence, for additional information and for written submissions from the Applicant�s Legal Representative.

   There had been an earlier adjournment of the case due to unavailability of a witness and a suggested development of an alleged assault, in custody, by the Applicant.

   Rule 28(1) of the Parole Board Rules 2019 (as amended by the Parole Board (Amendment) Rules 2022) (the Parole Board Rules) provides that applications for reconsideration may be made in eligible cases (as set out in rule 28(2)) either on the basis (a) that the decision contains an error of law, (b) that it is irrational and/or (c) that it is procedurally unfair. This is an eligible case. ��

   I have considered the application on the papers. These are the decision of the Panel, the application for reconsideration and the dossier consisting of 505 pages (including the decision).

   The application for reconsideration is undated but submitted by the Applicant�s Legal Representative on 16 March 2023. It seeks reconsideration on the grounds that the decision is procedurally unfair, producing � a manifestly unfair, flawed and unjust result .�
