The Act also contains two measures which will guide interpretation of the new parole measures, as well as Chapter 2 of Part 2 of the Crime (Sentences) Act 1997 Act ("the 1997 Act"), Chapter 6 of Part 12 of the 2003 Act, section 128 of the Legal Aid, Sentencing and Punishment of Offenders Act 2012 ("LASPO"), and all secondary legislation made under these provisions (‘the release legislation’). These provisions span the full legislative framework in England and Wales relating to release, licences, supervision, and recall of indeterminate and determinate sentenced offenders.
	The measures disapply section 3 of the Human Rights Act 1998 ("the HRA") so that if incompatibilities do arise with the new parole measures, or any of the other release measures, courts (and others) will not be under the obligation to interpret the provisions compatibility "so far as it is possible to do so". The purpose of this is to avoid courts adopting a strained section 3 interpretation, which ultimately disregards the policy intentions of the release regime. The measures also provide that, where a court is considering a challenge relating to a relevant Convention right, in relation to application of any of the release legislation, the court must give the greatest possible weight to the importance of reducing the risk to the public from the offender.
