Interim Recall

Introduction

The chairperson or panel convenor of the NZPB may make an interim recall order to have the offender returned to custody until an application is heard.

If an interim recall is believed to be warranted, specific mention should be made in the addidavit supporting the recall application to the NZPB.

Grounds for interim recall

Specific mention of an interim recall should be made in the application when any of the following grounds are met:

• The offender poses an undue risk to the safety of:
  - the community
  - any person, or
  - any class of person.
• The offender is likely to abscond before determination of the application for recall.
• A suitable residence, in the area where a RR scheme is operating, is no longer available to an offender.
