What we remove · Republished court records
Remove a court record from Google
The court record stays. What comes down is the commercial site that copied it and now ranks above your name, years after the matter closed.
What this covers
Every copy of it, not just the first one.
Commercial republishers of judgments, insolvency and bankruptcy notices, tribunal decisions and filings, and the aggregators that scrape them.
The route that works
How this one actually comes down.
Time is the argument. A discharged bankruptcy, a spent conviction, a discontinued claim or an overturned decision no longer carries the public interest that justified publication, and both the ICO guidance and the balancing test in NT1 & NT2 v Google recognise that. The republisher is not the court, so nothing about the constitutional position of the record is in question.
What we will not take money for
We never approach a court, tribunal or regulator to alter its own record, and the checkout declines gov.uk, the judiciary, BAILII, CourtListener, PACER, Companies House and regulators' registers before you can pay.
The terms for this link
One published fee, whatever the platform. The removal window for legal and court listings starts at 90 days and is fixed in the engagement letter at signing, so a later change to our defaults cannot alter your case.

Questions
About this one specifically.
Does this change the court record?
No, and we would not attempt it. The record stands; the commercial copy that outranks your name is what comes down.
My bankruptcy is discharged. Does that matter?
It is the heart of the argument. Discharge is the event that removes the ongoing public interest in the notice.
