IAT Convictions that are ‘spent’ for the purposes of the Rehabilitation of Offenders Act 1974 should not normally be the subject of reference in appeals before the Tribunal. The exception is in s 7(3) of the Act, which allows spent convictions to be proved if the interests of justice require it: it is for the Respondent to prove that they do.
