I wish to comment on that point. I come from a business background so I imagine that when a guy goes into a court one should be able to gain access to every technological base in the world and scan, etc. A court clerk should be able to check whether the gentleman's name is registered and, for example, state whether he is on probation. Such information should be automatically sent to the Courts Service and it could easily go back to the Law Library. It would mean that when a client goes to his or her solicitor the solicitor can check the system to verify the prospective client's background.
