Explanatory note

Original text. Later amendments are not shown.

(This note is not part of the Order)

This Order amends the definition of “relevant matter” in the Police Act 1997. The definition of “relevant matter” sets out what is disclosed by AccessNI in response to an application for a criminal record certificate or an enhanced criminal record certificate. The Order provides for the introduction of a scheme to filter out certain convictions which are both old and minor and certain disposals from disclosure on a criminal record certificate or an enhanced criminal record certificate.

This Order comes into operation on 14th April 2014.
