In the interests of transparency, the CCRC publishes minutes of our Board meetings, which are generally held every other month.
We also hold a public Board meeting once per year, which is typically held in November. This meeting provides an opportunity for members of the public to gain insight into the important work that the CCRC carries out.
We hope that this page provides you with the information you need to better understand the workings of the Criminal Cases Review Commission and its commitment to ensuring that the best possible reviews of potential miscarriages of justice take place.

1. Welcome and declarations of interest
The Chair welcomed everyone to the meeting.
There were no declarations of interest.
2. Minutes of Board Meetings
The minutes of the Board Meetings held on 22 May, and 30 June were accepted. In respect of 30 June minutes, two small corrections were required. In Section 2 – Annual Report and Accounts this should read 2024/2025 and date of the next meeting this should read 29 July 2025.
3. Interim Chair’s Update
The Chair reported that this was her 8th week in post, during which meetings had taken place with various staff across the organisation which included Commissioners, Senior Management Team, Case Review Managers, Group Leaders and the Casework Administration Team.
Visits were ongoing to various stakeholders which included JENGBA, the Law Commission, and the Centre for Women’s Justice. Future visits include, Appeal, the Cardiff Innocence Project, CALA, Future Justice, Justice UK, and CAGE International an advocacy and campaign organisation based in London.
The Chair had recently met with the Minister Alex Davies-Jones who was taking a keen interest in the review of the organisation. Meetings were currently taking place on a quarterly basis. There were also regular meetings with Andrew Humphrey at the MOJ.
The Chair provided a brief update to the Board on the former Chief Executive’s departure.
The Chair reported that the Casework Operations Director who had been appointed Interim Chief Executive would continue in that role, for the time being and the Chair would appoint someone to collaborate with the Interim Chief Executive, probably a secondment from another ALB, so that there was no concern about the COD’s capacity to focus on casework.
The Chair updated the Board on Commissioner recruitment and confirmed her approval behind the appointable candidates, all of whom had knowledge of the criminal justice system, were, apparently team players.
The Chair updated the Board on the recruitment of 2 Independent Non-Executive Directors. Several hundred applications had been received, 67 shortlisted and now down to interviewees for which the panel members will be the Chair and another Commissioner, two personnel from the MOJ and one independent, in September.
With Martin Spencer leaving the Commission at the end of August, this would reduce the INEDS from three to one. The MOJ had confirmed that it was acceptable for Commissioners to be members of the Audit & Risk Committee for the purpose of enabling the October meeting to go ahead. Mr Oldham would Chair ARAC with Mr Brown and with one other Commissioner joining temporarily. The terms of reference would be temporarily amended for Board approval in September, if necessary.
The Chair reported that she was keen to get a casework audit process underway, in pursuit of her review. Discussions had taken place with some Commissioners, the Interim Chief Executive, the Finance and Corporate Services Director and In-house Counsel about possible models. Having looked at options, she noted that the Law Commission were recommending that HMCPSI, should ultimately have a statutory duty to inspect the CCRC. She was, however, still considering a standalone, ad hoc inspection unit consisting, possibly, of retired criminal justice personnel. Further thought would be given to this, and she was planning to talk to HMCPSI, with a view to advice, without any kind of commitment.
The Chair updated the Board following a review of her first piece of case work, in which, unfortunately, information had been overlooked, by the CRM. The Interim Chief Executive would take this forward with the relevant GL.
Another concern was letter and decision templates which the Chair thought could be more humane and kinder. The Chair intended to form a small internal group to look at the template letters, including the Senior Manager of Applicant Engagement, in order to make them more pleasant to receive whilst delivering the appropriate information. The Senior Quality Assurance Manager would be invited to join from a QA perspective.
The Board noted the number of cases awaiting decision and suggested that Group Leaders should dip sample cases awaiting decision, to try to avoid a situation where further work was only identified when assigned to a Commissioner. It was also reported that some decision pathways were not completed in full. The Interim Chief Executive agreed to follow up on this. The Board agreed that it was important for Commissioners to provide feedback – both positive and negative, and to raise performance concerns with Group Leaders but this could be done informally.
The Chair raised concerns that in the recent LIBOR case there was no planned press release, and that it was not standard practice to issue a press release for the outcome of a reference. It was agreed that it was important not to appear self-congratulatory, but the factual and legal position could be covered. More generally it was noted that information provided by Comms to the Board was focused on the number of people visiting the website or looking at our twitter feeds, rather than focusing on public communications and trying to measure their effect.
4. Interim Chief Executive Update
The Annual Report and Accounts were laid on 17 July.
The Interim Chief Executive had been in discussion with the MOJ and the CPS in relation to the National Audit on Group-Based Child Sexual Exploitation and Abuse (‘the Casey report’) published on 16 June. The government had committed in a response to work to identify and review any cases where victims of child sexual exploitation had been criminalised rather than protected. Initial considerations were around how to identify potential victims.
The Interim Chief Executive had had a meeting with the Registrar of Criminal Appeals towards the end of June. An invitation has been extended for the new Vice President of the Court of Appeal Criminal Division, Lord Justice Edis, to visit the Commission. Once a date had been fixed, a programme for the visit would be drawn up.
There was a new Forensic Science Regulator Dr Marc Bailey who was previously at the Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency. Contact would be made with him also.
Sir Brian Leveson’s Independent review of the Criminal Courts had been published. Some of the recommendations touched on our work.
There was a letter from the Business and Trade Committee asking about Capture cases and an update had been given.
The MoJ had responded to the Justice Select Committee report and expected their response to be published.
Actions update
This was noted.
5. Management Information Pack
The Casework Report was noted. This included an update on the recommendations in the Henley Report and long running cases.
An update was given on the Forensic Opportunities Programme. A decision was made to quality assess all the Phase 1 cases that had been excluded. Phase 2 was currently underway. Work on the Power-Bi performance reporting was also underway and would provide regular data on progress. GIAA had done an audit on the programme management side and there was a draft report to consider. Another funding bid had been submitted, and confirmation was awaited from the MOJ which would enable contracts to be extended for the existing team. The MOJ were being chased at every opportunity.
Two CRMs had handed in their notice, so another round of CRM recruitment would be launched after the August Bank Holiday. It was hoped to have those posts filled by the end of the year.
6. Emerging Technology Report
The Finance and Corporate Service Director gave an update on the 24/25 project. Seven projects were agreed at the October Programme Board. In respect of the automatic input of handwritten and online application forms onto the CMS, initial developments were now complete, and discussions were taking place with Version 1.
New software was implemented in December 2024 and had worked well to speed up the recruitment process – particularly around the time taken to anonymise applications for sifting.
In order to take advantage of AI developments new software was being introduced which would enable the conversion of all case material into a readable format. The Finance and Corporate Services Director was asked to check that it would not break existing hyperlinks.
In respect of long running cases, the intention was to use technology to streamline the process and support better monitoring of case progress.
7. Board Composition – increasing the number of Commissioners on the Board
The Chair asked for a vote for the addition to the Board of Commissioners Johanna Higgins, Nicola Cockburn, Rachel Ellis and Ian Comfort. The Board gave its agreement and welcomed the new Board members.
8. AOB
The question of Part II Minutes was raised. It was proposed to have a paper for the September Board to consider the issues and to look at our obligations. The Interim Chief Executive would take this forward.
The Chair on behalf of the Board wanted to thank Martin Spencer for his input and contribution over the last seven years which had been invaluable, and to wish him all the very best for the future. He would be greatly missed.
The Chair concluded that the two Commissioners who did not wish to join the Board would be very welcome to observe any Board meetings going forward. In any event copies of the minutes would be circulated.

Mr David Brown (Non-Executive Director)
Mr Rob Ward (Non-Executive Director)

1. Welcome
Mr Katz welcomed everyone to the meeting. In line with the Board’s Terms of Reference, following the Chairman’s recent departure Mr Katz would be chairing Board Meetings going forward pending the appointment of an Interim Chair.
2. Discussion
The Board meeting was called to address a number of operational matters, including how best to support SLT during this challenging period. This included the impact on staff, internal/external communications and engagement with Commissioners/ Body Corporate.
3. Update from the Staff Briefing
The CEO updated the Board on the Staff Briefing that took place on 15 January. Following the week’s events there was both considerable disappointment and frustration regarding the nature of the resignation. SLT had tried to provide as much reassurance as possible, particularly around any future review that an Interim Chair may undertake, noting that a review of casework was currently underway, as was a corporate review. The CEO highlighted current business as usual, with the Northern Ireland visit still going ahead next week and a referral having been made today.
The Finance & Corporate Services Director commented that media coverage was causing additional concern and uncertainty for colleagues.
Mr Katz commended the professionalism of the SLT and the wider organisation in its continued focus on casework. He asked whether SLT thought it beneficial for a note to be circulated from the Board and Commissioners, recognising the challenging period the organisation is going through and commending colleagues for all the good work that had been done, whilst also pledging to keep staff updated.
The Head of Communications and External Affairs advised that a note had already been circulated to staff from the Chief Executive on behalf of SLT, the Board and all Commissioners carrying similar messages. It was agreed a further written note was not required.
4. Arrangements for an Interim Chair
The Chief Executive provided an update from David West at the MoJ, regarding the appointment of an interim Chair. That person would need to have a Royal Warrant because as Chair of the CCRC they also needed to be a Commissioner. David West would keep the Chief Executive updated.
5. Media and Communications
The Head of Communications and External Affairs provided an update to the Board, explaining that various scenarios had been identified ahead of this week’s events and plans had been in place for multiple outcomes. He explained that media interest had lessened as the week progressed and explained the strategy going forward. It was agreed that there would be value in documenting and sharing this high-level strategy.
The CEO reflected that it had been the intention of the Head of Communications and External Affairs to spend some time with Commissioners around the Communications Strategy, but recent events had taken over.
Mr Katz suggested that as a way forward, whilst awaiting the arrival of the Interim Chair, the Head of Communications and External Affairs could issue a brief weekly communication update to Commissioners. Agreement was given to this.
6. Operational Gaps to be Filled
Mr Katz enquired whether there were any key gaps in the organisation caused by the absence of a Chair, how they were being plugged and whether there were any governance matters to be considered.
Mr Katz asked the Finance & Corporate Services Director to check whether there was any conflict with him chairing the Board and the Audit Committee. PR to investigate this and report back.
The Chief Executive reported that she would deal with Parliamentary correspondence. In terms of the media, save for the current situation the Chairman didn’t usually comment on issues and so standard processes could continue. There were no big events on the horizon other than the Northern Ireland visit, which was still going ahead. It was noted that the Head of Communications and External Affairs was looking at putting together a Stakeholder Strategy.
Commissioner recruitment was underway and was being supported by Mr Brown. There were about 70 or 80 candidates going through the casework exercise. The campaign for the INED recruitment would need to be commenced, but that could be progressed ahead of any Chair appointment.
It was suggested that the Risk Register would need to be amended given the week’s events, reflecting potential changes to the risk profile. The Finance & Corporate Services Director would lead on that.
7. Commissioners’ questions
Mr Katz thanked Mr Brown for sending through a summary of questions which Commissioners raised in their discussions the previous evening. This would greatly assist in having a structured conversation at the Board/Commissioner meeting which immediately followed.
8. Other business
There being no business the meeting closed.

Mrs Johanna Higgins and Mr John Curtis also gave a presentation to the senior Judiciary of Northern Ireland as well as a presentation at Queens University Belfast where a podcast took place along with interviews with some of the students.
The Board reflected on the recent resignation of the Chairman; it was agreed that the organisation’s primary focus must be on continuing to find, investigate and refer miscarriages of justice whilst implementing the recommendations and learning from the Chris Henley KC review. The executive updated the Board in respect of staff morale and outlined the opportunities for staff to talk and to raise any concerns that they may have.
4. Casework Report
The report was noted and questions invited. The Director of Casework Operations confirmed that the first mandatory DNA training session had been delivered and further sessions from additional speakers had been scheduled.
In respect of performance management within casework, the Casework Operations Director reported that a CRM competency framework had been introduced to support the work that GLs were already doing both formally and informally and that further work would be undertaken in relation to the drafting of Statements of Reasons. The Head of Casework was also using the CRM competency framework to develop a GL competency framework, the management elements of which could be rolled out to other managers within the organisation.
In respect of IT, the CEO asked Commissioners to email the Finance & Corporate Services Director if and when they came across issues to facilitate continuous improvement. It was agreed the Finance & Corporate Services Director would bring a paper to the Board.
The Casework Operations Director assured the Board that the Forensic Opportunities Programme is to be a standing item for the Board.
5. Commissioner Peer Review
The Director of Casework Operations’ paper was noted; it followed on from her September 2024 paper to the Board. She reported that GIAA, as part of their independent internal audit function, recommended that the Commission should ensure they assess the quality of Commissioner decision making by introducing a peer review process. The Director asked the Board to agree to the introduction of peer review, or to a trial of it, so that peer review is firmly in place for the arrival of new Commissioners.
The Board noted the views expressed by Commissioners and the concerns about resourcing. The Director estimated that two days per Commissioner per year was required to adopt the original proposal and that resourcing was not an issue.
There was a discussion of whether to await the arrival of the Interim Chair and it was agreed that the Director of Casework Operations (with the assistance of Commissioner Mr Brown) would introduce a pilot if 2 Commissioners would volunteer to participate. This would be in addition to inviting Commissioners to suggest other approaches, and in addition to Commissioner College which would give a basis to determine how to go forwards.
6. Business Plan
The Board thanked the Head of Performance & Planning for his paper which was very informative and helpful.
7. Any other business
The Finance & Corporate Service Director informed the Board that the MOJ had started a Zero Based Review (ZBR) commission focusing on the 2025/26 budget allocation. Subsequent ZBR phases will focus on RDEL budgets from 2026-27 to 2028-29 and CDEL budgets from 2026-27 to 2029-2030.
