Evidentiary hearings before the court can be requested to challenge the interpretation and application of certain record restriction provisions. The court is empowered to engage in a balancing test weighing public policy and community interests against the harm to the accused. Most often a record restriction occurs after a final disposition of a charge. However, if a conviction has been overturned by an appellate court and the case has not been retried in a timely fashion, a restriction may be available to the accused.
