The High Court held the Parole Board and the reviewing Judge correctly applied the statutory test, properly considered the relevant evidence (including pending misconduct under s7(2)(c)), were not obliged to articulate all possible release conditions, and were entitled to conclude on the material before them that there had been an escalation of risk (notably potential relapse into substance abuse and re-offending) amounting to an undue risk to public safety; the appeal was dismissed.
