Updating rehabilitation period in light of amendments to Rehabilitation of Offenders Act 1974 introduced by Management of Offenders (Scotland) Act 2019 |
||
Line 6:
This disposition is comparable to an [[Conditional discharge|absolute discharge]] in jurisdictions where an absolute discharge involves the recording of a conviction (''i.e.'', where the "discharge" is from punishment only) but stands in contrast to an absolute discharge in jurisdictions in which an absolute discharge does not involve the recording of a conviction as is the case in Scotland under summary procedure (''i.e.'', where the "discharge" is from conviction as well)
Under the [[Rehabilitation of Offenders Act 1974]] there is no disclosure period in respect of admonition and it is considered to be spent immediately.<ref>[https://www.legislation.gov.uk/ukpga/1974/53/section/5J?view=extent Section 5J(b) of the Rehabilitation of Offenders Act 1974], Accessed 29 Jan 2022</ref><ref>[https://www.gov.scot/publications/guidance-self-disclosure-previous-convictions-alternatives-prosecution-scotland-under-rehabilitation-offenders-act-1974/pages/3/ Self-disclosure of previous convictions and alternatives to prosecution: guidance], Scottish Government guidance.
