Records of all court judgments, fines and orders are kept by the Registry Trust. It was established in 1985 to maintain the official statutory register for England and Wales on behalf of the Ministry of Justice, and maintains similar registers for Scotland, Northern Ireland, the Republic of Ireland, Isle of Man, and Jersey, by agreement with the relevant authorities.

The Trust's live data on monetary judgments, including county court judgments, supports millions of lending and credit decisions in the UK and Republic of Ireland every year, helping to keep the economy moving and identify economic trends. It even creates usable credit metrics through the absence of a judgment record.

It handles enquiries from consumers, courts, businesses and government, as well as operating the TrustOnline website, the only service that provides immediate public access to the complete register. It means anyone can search for individuals or businesses to see if they have a registered judgment.

As a trusted and impartial source of credit information and data in indebtedness, the trust also provides a range of services to credit reference agencies, government bodies, charities, regulators, think tanks, and other organisations.

To help its staff get the best of both worlds, it is implementing a hybrid working model and aiming to ensure it can be flexible as the pandemic continues to unfold. Staff wellbeing is important and it is respecting rest periods by restricting office hours to 9am-5pm, Monday to Friday. This helps to ensure staff are logging off and taking time to recharge.
