During the first quarter of 2015, the Parole Board (the “Board”) received 85 pre-action Article 5(4) claims. This exceeds the total number of pre-action Article 5(4) claims received during the whole of the financial year 2014/2015. In light of the significant increase in the volume of claims, the Board has undertaken a review of its litigation strategy to ensure that it is able to continue to deliver best value by optimum use of the resources available to it.
