Ward v Director of Whitehorse Correctional Centre, National Parole Board et al - Unreported, December 17,1985, No. SC516/85 (YTSC)
|
||
| - A prisoner sentenced to a federal term but serving the sentence in a territorial prison pursuant to an agreement between the territorial government and the federal government is not a "federal inmate" within the meaning of s2. Consequently, such a prisoner has no statutory right to a hearing following the suspension of parole. However, the principles of fundamental justice as set out in s7 of the Charter required such a hearing in such a case. | ||
