Question juridique clé
Whether expunged criminal convictions may be considered when fixing the type and severity of the sentence.
Solution extraite
The court could still rely on convictions that remained opposable, and the possible inclusion of expunged convictions did not invalidate the sentence.
Motifs extraits
Expungement makes a prior judgment non-opposable only after removal from the criminal record, and the court lacked a record extract to verify all entries. In any event, the still-opposable convictions and the present offences showed a persistent traffic-offending pattern and poor prospects of amendment, justifying a custodial sentence.
