Dylan Hurst v NSW State Parole Authority [2019] NSWSC 901

The application was dismissed because there was no sufficient evidence that the State Parole Authority was misled or relied on false, misleading or irrelevant information. Mr Hurst was relying on the same sad and compelling matters already considered by the Parole Authority, which in substance invited merits review, and the Court had no jurisdiction under s 176 to conduct such a review.
