Defendant: MA

Intervening party: Minister for Justice and Equality

Operative part of the judgment

The second sentence of Article 49(1) of the Charter of Fundamental Rights of the European Union must be interpreted as meaning that the application, to a person who may be sentenced to a determinate term of imprisonment, of a regime under which that person must serve at least two thirds of a fixed custodial period before being eligible for release on licence, such release is conditional upon a specialised authority finding that the continued imprisonment of that person is no longer necessary for the protection of society and that person is necessarily eligible for release on licence one year before the end of the sentence imposed, does not constitute the imposition of a heavier penalty, when, under the rules applicable on the date of the alleged commission of the offences at issue, he or she should automatically have been eligible for release on licence after having served half of that sentence.
