If you are found guilty of a traffic or criminal offence, you may have a conviction recorded against you on your traffic history or criminal history.

Under section 12 of the Penalties and State Sentences Act in Queensland, the court has the power to consider whether or not to record a conviction in circumstances where a person has not received a term of imprisonment. If you are found guilty of an offence, meaning you have been unsuccessful at trial and the Magistrate finds you guilty, there is a higher chance that the court will record a conviction against you because of the lack of remorse displayed by you for taking the matter to trial. This however depends on your circumstances and the nature of the charge.

If you wish for the court to consider not recording a conviction against you, you need to make submissions concerning the following factors and why you say a conviction ought not be recorded:

1. the nature of the offence; and
2. Your character and age; and
3. the impact that recording a conviction will have on you including your economic or social wellbeing or your chances of finding employment.

The court must record convictions against you if you receive any term of imprisonment. If you wish to discuss your matter in more detail, please feel free to give us a call.
