Appeal record transcript redaction is the removal of personal identifiers from testimony in the bundle. CPR PD 52C governs the documents prepared for the appellate proceedings. anonym.plus runs on your device, so the file stays in your control.
When this applies
The testimony is bound into the bundle and filed with the higher court. The same care applies, so those IDs must be hidden before filing.
How anonym.plus handles it
- Open the file in anonym.plus on your device.
- The tool flags names, NINOs, account numbers, and birth dates.
- Citations and statute references stay in place.
- Swap or black out the confirmed identifiers.
- Save the clean copy on your device.
What you need to provide
- The testimony file (PDF, DOCX, or TXT).
- An operator (Redact for the filed copy).
- Optional allow-list for citations and statutes.

Limitations & cautions
CPR PD 52C sets how the bundle is prepared. The tool flags identifier types. You still confirm that earlier redactions were preserved when the testimony was assembled for the higher court.
Frequently asked questions
Does CPR PD 52C change what must be hidden?
It governs how the bundle is prepared. The same personal identifiers that needed care below should still be hidden in it.
Are citations kept?
Yes. An allow-list keeps case citations and statutes while personal data goes.
Can I check earlier redactions held?
Review the assembled bundle before filing. The tool re-flags identifiers, which helps you catch any that slipped through.
