Dear Rebekah

Individual Rights Request (Subject Access Request)- Julie McGuffog

In respect of the subject access request (SAR) received by the Scottish Courts and Tribunals Service (SCTS) on 1st December 2025 that is a request on behalf of Julie McGuffog.

I have considered this request in accordance with Section 45 of the Data Protection Act 2018 (DPA, 2018).

It requested:

‘…I am writing to make a Data Subject Access Request under the UK GDPR and the Data Protection Act 2018.  As part of our client’s application to the Redress Scheme Scotland…’

With the information provided, I searched our criminal case management system which held no relevant information.
I then consulted NRS who advised that the relevant court records that cover the correct time frame, location and age of offender are unavailable.

As a result we are unable to provide any information. I am sorry that I cannot be of more assistance on this occasion.

Should you have any concerns or questions regarding this response, please do not hesitate to contact the Data Protection Officer:
