84—Certificate for identity theft victims
(1) The Magistrates
Court may, on application by a person, issue them with a certificate under
subsection (2) if satisfied, on the balance of probabilities, that the
person is an identity theft victim.
(2) A certificate
issued to a person is to—
(a)
identify the person; and
(b) give
details of the manner in which the person's personal
identification information was used to commit the offence (whether or not any
person has been charged with, or found guilty of, the offence); and
(c)
include any other matters considered by the Court to be relevant.
(3) The
certificate—
(a) is
not admissible in any criminal proceedings in relation to the offence; and
(b) may
be varied or revoked by the Court on application by the person to whom it was
issued, a police officer or a person who satisfies the Court that they are
adversely affected by the certificate.
"identity theft victim" means a person whose identity has been assumed, or
personal identification information has been used, without the person's
consent, in connection with the commission of an offence;
"personal identification information" has the same meaning as in Part 5A
of the Criminal Law Consolidation Act 1935 .
