The Case

Sentence Detention. The Queen's Bench Division held that the offender's tariff expiry date would not be varied on the basis of the exceptional progress and related considerations made by the offender. The balance of the reports in relation to the offender had not suggested that further detention would lead to such a risk of regression as to require a substantially reduced tariff.
