sets out what a criminal record must contain and when a criminal record is inadmissible as evidence. A criminal record replaces what is currently required to be included in a further presentment under section 395(1)(a) of the Crimes Act 1958. A criminal record must contain, in relation to each previous conviction—
the date of the previous conviction; and
the court in which the previous conviction took place; and
the place of sitting of that court; and
the offence committed; and
the sentence imposed.
If other offences were taken into account when a sentence was imposed in respect of a previous conviction, a criminal record may contain a statement to that effect and the convictions taken into account. A criminal record is inadmissible as evidence against the person to whom it relates in a proceeding for an offence unless the criminal record is signed by any one of a number of specified persons.
