Procedural Posture

Application for an Extended Supervision Order Under the Crimes (high Risk Offenders) Act 2006 (nsw) / Final Hearing; Principal Judgment Giving Reasons for Orders Made on 20 October 2021

  1. 1 ['Whether the statutory requirements for making an extended supervision order were satisfied.' 'Whether the defendant posed an unacceptable risk of committing another serious offence if not kept under supervision.' 'Whether an extended supervision order should be made for four years.' 'What conditions should attach to the extended supervision order.']

Ratio Decidendi

Having considered the statutory requirements, the material required by s 9(3), the defendant's serious violent offending history, diagnoses including mild intellectual disability, antisocial personality disorder and substance use disorder, expert risk assessments, and the parties' concessions, the Court was satisfied to a high degree of probability that the defendant posed an unacceptable risk of committing another serious offence if not supervised. Community safety being paramount, an extended supervision order for four years was appropriate, with conditions adjusted where necessary to address the parties' disputes while maintaining supervision and risk management.

Court Disposition

Extended supervision order made for four years with scheduled conditions; access to the Court file restricted.
