Section 117 — Youth Criminal Justice Act: Exception — adult sentence

Sections 118 to 129 do not apply to records kept in respect of an offence for which an adult sentence has been imposed once the time allowed for the taking of an appeal has expired or, if an appeal is taken, all proceedings in respect of the appeal have been completed and the appeal court has upheld an adult sentence. The record shall be dealt with as a record of an adult and, for the purposes of the Criminal Records Act , the finding of guilt in respect of the offence for which the record is kept is deemed to be a conviction.
