This would create a gap where parole orders couldn't move across borders, potentially leaving prisoners in legal limbo or forcing them to serve time in inappropriate jurisdictions.\n\n**Key change:**\n- It replaces any previous versions of this Notice, ensuring the list of recognised laws stays current."}},"importantCases":[],"_links":{"self":"/api/acts/parole-orders-transfer-corresponding-laws-notice-2014","history":"/api/acts/parole-orders-transfer-corresponding-laws-notice-2014/history","analysis":"/api/acts/parole-orders-transfer-corresponding-laws-notice-2014/analysis","conflicts":"/api/acts/parole-orders-transfer-corresponding-laws-notice-2014/conflicts","importantCases":"/api/acts/parole-orders-transfer-corresponding-laws-notice-2014/important-cases","documents":"/api/acts/parole-orders-transfer-corresponding-laws-notice-2014/documents"}}
