Explaining CCRC referral decisions would increase transparency and rebuild public trust.
Recommendation
There is merit in Amanda Pearce’s suggestion that the CCRC should be able to explain its decisions on whether to refer cases to the appeal courts. This would allow for greater transparency which would aid proper scrutiny of the Commission’s decisions. This might go some way towards rebuilding public trust in the CCRC. (Conclusion, Paragraph 45)
