Regina v Rawlinson: CACD 27 Oct 1999

Where a court sentenced an offender for an offence which would carry the obligation for the offender to be placed on and remain on the sex offenders register, the court had no obligation to inform the defendant of the time for which his name would remain on the register, and therefore a mistake in the time told to him did not vitiate the order.
