This Law shall apply to a conviction for an offence against laws other than the Laws of the Cayman Islands and a reference in this Law to an offence, conviction and court includes a reference to an offence, conviction and court of a place other than the Islands which correspond, or which correspond as closely as possible, to the relevant offence, conviction and court of the Islands.
Where a person's conviction was expunged in another country for a conviction in that country, that person is entitled to protection under this Law as if the offence had been committed in the Islands and the conviction expunged under this Law.
A prisoner who is Caymanian and has been convicted of an offence in another country and who is transferred to the Islands to serve that prisoner's sentence, or the rest of that sentence, shall be entitled to expungement as if that offence had been committed in the Islands in accordance with the criteria set out in this Law.
For the purposes of this Law, the offence that a transferred prisoner has been found guilty of, is deemed to be a "Category A offence" under section 23 of the Penal Code (2018 Revision).
