Except in very limited circumstances, when a person is convicted of a crime, that conviction is considered to be irrelevant after a set amount of time (the rehabilitation period) and it is then referred to as “spent”. This period of time varies according to the sentence received. A conviction is described as unspent if the rehabilitation period associated with it has not yet lapsed.
