What we remove · Legal and court listings
Remove court and legal listings from Google
A court record itself is public and stays public. What we remove is the third-party republication that rank above your name years after the matter closed.
What this covers
The links in this category.
Commercial sites that republish judgments, insolvency notices, tribunal decisions and filings, and the aggregators that scrape them.
Why it can be removed
The argument that works.
The passage of time is the argument. A spent conviction, a discharged bankruptcy, a discontinued claim or a decision since overturned no longer carries the public interest that justified publishing it, and both the ICO guidance and the balancing test in NT1 & NT2 v Google recognise that. The republisher is also rarely the court, which removes the constitutional objection entirely.
What we will not take money for
We never approach a court, a tribunal or a regulator to alter its own record, and we do not accept the primary source: gov.uk, the judiciary, BAILII, CourtListener, PACER, Companies House or a regulator's register. The checkout declines those before you can pay.
Typical route
In this order, until the link goes.
The assessment confirms the sequence for your link and names it in the engagement letter. The removal window for this category starts at 90 days.

1. Right to be forgotten
Delisting requests to Google and Bing, prepared with the balancing test set out by the courts and the ICO, so the page stops appearing in searches for your name even where the publisher will not move.
-
2. Legal notice
Where content is defamatory, infringes privacy, or breaches copyright, independent counsel issues formal notice to the publisher, host or Google.
-
3. De-indexing and cache removal
Once the source is down or altered, we secure removal of the Google index entry, cached copies and image results, then verify across regions.
Typical timeline: Six to twelve weeks.

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.
