11 References to convictions for offences

(1) A reference in this Act to a conviction includes a finding of guilt, or the acceptance of a guilty plea, whether or not a conviction is recorded.

(a) a finding of guilt in relation to the offence, or

(b) the acceptance of a guilty plea in relation to the offence.

(3) However, a reference in this Act to the quashing of a conviction for an offence does not include a reference to the quashing of a conviction where:

(b) the acceptance of a guilty plea in relation to the offence,

remains unaffected.
