Certificate of conviction
72 Certificate of conviction
This rule applies if a person (the requester) asks the proper officer of the court of trial before which a person was convicted of an indictable offence to give to the requester a certificate of the person’s conviction.
The proper officer may give the certificate to the requester only if—
the appeal period for the offence has ended; and
an appeal or subsequent appeal has not started, or a notice of application for leave to appeal or notice of application for leave to make a subsequent appeal has not been filed.
If an appeal or subsequent appeal has started, or a notice of application for leave to appeal or notice of application for leave to make a subsequent appeal has been filed, the proper officer may give the certificate to the requester only if—
the final decision on the appeal, subsequent appeal or application has been given; or
the appeal, subsequent appeal or application has been abandoned.
