1. This is a disturbing case. The Plaintiff is a man now in his mid-thirties. He has never been convicted of any criminal offence. But in December 1978, the Police erroneously made a record to the effect that he had been convicted, on the 16th of that month, of the offence of assault occasioning actual bodily harm. And this error did not come to light until May 1997.
