Didnt know what forum to post this in sorry. My fiance called the court house in London to get his court documents on an old conviction he has, which he'll need for the interview. the person he spoke to on the phone to didnt know what he was talking about, so he'll go down there in person and ask.

Does anyone know how to obtain them? (he thinks they might not have them cause he heard the courts only keep records for 3 yrs?...his conviction is over 10 yrs ago.)

how long it could take to get the records?? Any help is appreciated! thank u!

Court records in the UK should be kept by the court as they are public records (although the public can't normally see them for at least 30 years), and will be in their archive. It should be pretty straight forward to get them too under the Data Protection Act. It could also be worthwhile talking to the solicitor who was handling the case as they may still have their file in their archive.

He could also try the police as although spent convictions should be deleted from the Police National Computer after 10 years, it's not an automated process, so he could also ask the local police about what they hold on him.

I claim it in the name of the Empire
