Judicial Consideration -
Brook v The National Parole Board - Unreported, March 14, 1984, No. T-484.84 (FCTD)
	- The Board conducted a post-suspension hearing on January 26, 1984. The letter sent to him notifying him of the revocation and its reasons was dated February 13 and indicated that the case had been reviewed on January 31. The letter was received by the inmate on February 21. Consequently, the notice of reasons was not received by the inmate until twenty-six days after the hearing and twenty-one days from the apparent review and decision. The court held on an application for certiorari to quash the Board's decision that the applicant's counsel had been notified by telephone of the revocation on February 13 and that therefore this defect was not sufficient to invalidate the Board's hearing and procedure.
