Another successful caution removal!

Our client had been issued with a police caution in 2013 for Possession of a controlled Dug- Class A contrary to section 5(2) of the Misuse of Drugs Act 1971.

Our client instructed us to make an application for caution removal.  After reviewing the documentation received from both the police and ACRO, Saunders Law made an application for record deletion under the ground that it was no longer in the public interest.

We made the following arguments:

  • The implications of the caution were never explained to our client,
  • Our client was not legally represented during the police interview or issuing of caution
  • The police had already deleted the majority of documents as they did not deem it necessary to retain them,
  • Our client admitted to the allegations at the first opportunity and was extremely remorseful,
  • Our client is of good character,
  • In the 11½ years since this matter no similar incidents had occurred, and
  • The caution was having a huge impact on their career and limiting their ability to travel.

Saunders Law made the application in February 2025. We received the successful outcome at the end of May 2025. The case was conducted by solicitor Amber Richardson, supervised by Ali Parker.
