Hi everyone
I'm sure this question is going to highlight my naivety in all of this but I must admit I'm a little confused about the details of some of the terms used on here.
In particular its the difference between NFA, NC and Not Guilty
Now I'm guessing NG is fairly obvious but requires a charge and a trial, what are the implications on your record? Do you have to declare it? Will it show up on CRB and eCRB checks etc?
I believe NC means no charge but I'm taking a guess here. Can some one explain it to me and what it all means.
NFA I guess means No Further Action. I've taken from some of the posts on this website that this does not necessarily mean they believe you are innocent but that the CPS think there is a less than 51% probability of winning the case. I also believe that the file just sits there forever.
If you are not charged then what are the implications on your record? Will it show on your CRB or eCRB checks and do you have to declare it?
If you are charged but get an NFA before court are things different and if so how?
Any clarity on the matter would be welcome.
Thanks
