aside is sometimes called expungement or expunction. It means that the court record of a criminal or contempt case is sealed by the court and will not appear in official court records. You should be aware that setaside cases can be unsealed in certain limited circumstances.
If you have been convicted of a criminal offense, upon fulfillment of the conditions of probation or sentence, and discharge by the court, you may apply to the judge who pronounced sentence to have the judgment of guilt set aside.
Conviction set-asides and expungements are similar but not the same. Conviction expungement seals an entire record of the conviction. Indeed, expungement proceedings result in the sealing of arrest records and court documents.
When a court sets aside a conviction, it dismisses the conviction, the penalties are dismissed, and disabilities are vacated.
When a court renders a decision of another court to be invalid, that verdict or decision is set aside; see also annul or vacate. The phrase is often used in the context of appeals, when an appellate court invalidates the judgment of a lower court.
A criminal conviction set-aside is an order by the judge who sentenced you in a criminal case which voids the conviction. It does not remove the conviction from your criminal record, it does offset it by adding the Order Setting Aside the conviction and a notation to the file.
