sets out that, in relation to each previous conviction, a criminal record must contain the following information—
the date of the conviction;
the court in which it took place;
the place of sitting of that court;
the offence committed; and
the sentence imposed.
There is an additional, new requirement that where a sentence was imposed in respect of a previous conviction a criminal record may contain a statement that other offences were taken into account including the number of offences. The purpose of this requirement is to reflect section 100(11) of the Sentencing Act 1991. In order for a criminal record to be admissible in evidence, it must be signed by a person listed in subclause (3). This requirement is new, and is intended to ensure that a criminal record has been checked and is accurate before it is tendered as evidence in a proceeding.
