Corrections and removals

If something on this site is wrong, tell us and we will fix it. Email newsdesk@newsguv.com with a link to the page and what is wrong. We aim to reply within two working days.

Court listings

  • A listing records that a hearing was scheduled. It is not a finding of guilt or liability.
  • We publish a person’s name, age and general area only. We do not publish dates of birth or street addresses.
  • We never identify anyone in family proceedings or anyone under 18.
  • We do not publish cases that appear to be covered by reporting restrictions, or sexual offence cases, without a person checking them first.
  • Listings are taken off the site automatically after a fixed period.

Asking for something to be removed

You can ask us to remove or amend a page that names you. Tell us the page address and your reasons, for example that the case was withdrawn, you were acquitted, a reporting restriction applies, or the conviction is now spent. We will take the page down while we look into it if there is any doubt.

If a court has made an order restricting reporting, please send us a copy or the case number so we can act on it straight away.
