Procedural Posture

Interim Supervision Order Under Parole Act 2002 / Hearing and Judgment on ISO Application

  1. 1 Whether the Court should make an interim supervision order (ISO) under s 107FA
  2. 2 Whether the ISO requires the same evidential threshold as an extended supervision order (ESO) under s 107IAA
  3. 3 Whether bail powers under s 107G(6) apply to enforce ISO compliance

Ratio Decidendi

The Court may grant an ISO without being satisfied to the same extent as required for an ESO; the correct approach balances the paramount importance of community safety against the intrusiveness and duration of the ISO; on the evidence (including the health assessor's report read as a whole) there was a prima facie basis for an ESO and sufficient foundation to impose a short-duration ISO with specified standard and special conditions including electronic monitoring; bail under s107G(6) does not apply to enforce ISO compliance.
