Certificate of conviction or order

20.—(1) At the request of any person with a bona fide interest in any proceedings a resident magistrate, justice of the peace or clerk of petty sessions shall grant a certificate of the conviction or order made in such proceedings.

(2) The certificate shall be signed by the resident magistrate or justice of the peace who made the conviction or order or by any justice of the peace for the same petty sessions district or by the clerk of petty Sessions.

(3) A certificate under this Rule shall be prima facie evidence of the conviction or order and, except where it is proved that such a certificate purporting to be signed by a resident magistrate or justice of the peace or clerk of petty sessions was not in fact so signed, the certificate shall operate as a valid form of conviction or order for any purpose whatsoever.
