Supreme Court Justice John Dixon is calling on the attorney-general’s office to consider a voluntary payment to Suleiman ‘Sam’ Abdulrahim, after finding the revoking of his parole was unjust, but not unlawful.

and, in August 2019, Justice Paul Coghlan ordered his immediate release. Coghlan found there was nothing that authorised the parole board to act on the information of third parties.after being set upon while leaving his cousin’s funeral at Fawkner cemetery in June 2022.

The shooting came five days after the birth of Abdulrahim’s daughter and left him with a bullet in his right kidney. Abdulrahim’s legal team had argued he should be awarded damages for the deprivation of liberty and psychiatric harm caused by the parole revocation.t the time he had spent behind bars, rather than the attempt on his life, had damaged him and left him untrusting of the authorities.Lawyers for the state, the parole board or the secretary of the Department of Justice had argued Abdulrahim’s imprisonment was lawful and that neither of the three parties could be directly sued.

“Had I been required to assess the plaintiff’s damages claim, I would have assessed the ... general damages to lie in the range of $140,000-$160,000,” Dixon wrote.The Morning Edition newsletter is our guide to the day’s most important and interesting stories, analysis and insights.
