Wray v NSW Parole Authority [2007] NSWSC 1032

Wray v NSW Parole Authority [2007] NSWSC 1032

The proceeding is premised on an incorrect factual assertion: that the refusal of parole was based on non-completion of a program which the applicant was not permitted to attend. The Parole Authority's decision was, in fact, based on non-completion of a different course (Understanding Sexual Offending) in which the applicant was enrolled. No error of law or misleading material has been demonstrated and therefore relief must be refused.
