JUSTICE

Chapter 5 of Part 5 of the Protection of Freedoms Act 2012 (“the 2012 Act”) makes provision for a person who has a conviction or caution for a specific offence (in particular in relation to historical offences of buggery and gross indecency between men) to apply to the Department of Justice to have that conviction or caution disregarded. Section 101A of the 2012 Act sets out the circumstances in which such an application will be successful.
