Court Hearings.

[rd14962]

I am interested in a court case that happened last week. Is it possible for me to find out details via the web?
Many thanks

Only by newspaper reports

I believe that is someone pleads or is found guilty the info is then in the public domain. I think you can ring the court and ask for the result.

The information is in the public domain no matter what the verdict was.

But the court service does not publish it.

Look at a local paper's website - a paper in the area where the events surrounding the trial took place.

Phone the court and ask for the outcome. They are obliged to tell you, as it's in the public domain.
Web publishing will happen in about 36 years, judging by the length of time it's taken to get to the court computer system being rolled out this year - which is about 20 years out of date.
