The 2017 Act was amended under urgency so as to bring within the scope of the Act some registered persons who had been identified as not registerable under its retrospective provisions. However, in February this year, the Supreme Court excluded from registration provisions some of the individuals whose qualifying offence was committed before that Act came into force, but who were convicted after the Act came into force. It was always Parliament's intention that those people would be covered. Parliament's had two goes at ensuring that they should be covered. The decisions of the court contradict that, and therefore we are using urgency to fix something to make sure that Parliament's original intent has been upheld.
