Are you entitled to look at a court case if it was about you?

I was wondering if anyone knows the law regarding viewing court case records, i received death threats from an ex and it went to court, i didn't want to attend at the time, but i'm curious as to what he said, etc...

Does anyone know?

was it in Crown Court or magistrates? was there a trial?

it was at a magistrates and there was not trial, he just got conditional discharge...

[sara3]

there is no stenographer in magistrates courts, so there won't be a transcript of what happened. he must have pleaded guilty (or there would have been a trial), and generally the facts are read out by the prosecutor. he might have been asked a few questions, or made some comments, but I doubt there would be a record of that.

you could always ask at the court, or the police who handled the case.
