Where does Caerphilly Observer get this information from?

As bona fide members of the press, Her Majesty’s Courts and Tribunal Service sends us regular lists of defendants who have appeared in magistrates’ courts.

These lists are released under an established protocol and contain sensitive information such as full names, full addresses, and the names of victims.

As such, they are not available to the general public and journalists using these have to use caution in what information can and cannot be published. For example, the identification of someone under the age of 18 is often not allowed.

The information we present here is only as accurate as the information we receive via these lists.


Stay informed with quality, independent, local journalism…that matters

We believe the public should be informed about their community, coherently and with context. However, running a professional news service comes at a financial cost.

We are asking readers for their support to help us develop and grow our service.

Our membership costs from just £3 a month and in return, you can use our website without adverts.

Thank you.
