Are results of crown court hearings published?
No, but transcripts are generated upon request and upon payment. In some courtrooms, the hearings are tape-recorded, in other courtrooms the hearings are transcribed by a professional court reporter. In either case, if you want a certified copy of the proceedings, you’ll have order the transcripts from the court or directly from the court reporter (who normally works independently, not an employee of the court). Normally transcripts are expensive, about three ($3) dollars a page and take a few weeks to prepare them. If you are appealing a case, you will always require the transcript from the proceedings, and will need to order this from the court or the court reporter who was present at the trial, transcribing verbatim (work for word) what took place on that specific date, at a certain time at a particular courtroom.
