R (on the application of Brooke and another) v Parole Board and another; R (on the application of Murphy) v Parole Board and another [2008] EWCA Civ 29, [2008] All ER (D) 21 (Feb)
The Parole Board does not have the independence from the executive that is required for its judicial role in determining whether or not convicted prisoners should be released on licence. The court gave guidance in relation to the areas which require attention to ensure that the board enjoys, and is seen to enjoy, the required independence from the executive.
