Hi,

 

We are currently looking at the archival retention of our Courts
Records. As part of this, we are looking to benchmark against practices
in neighbouring and kindred jurisdictions [modern Manx Law being closely
related to English].

 

I note from the UK Courts Service retention schedules that with many
classes of record, the responsibility for archival selection sits at
local/county record office level, at least in England and Wales.

 

I wonder if any LROs out there would care to share some info on
decisions made/schedules within this framework.

 

I would also welcome any information from those reading this in other
jurisdictions [those who I have not already spoken with off-list that
is!!] or indeed anyone with anything tasty to share on the topic!

 

With thanks

 

Meic
