I think that is the appropriate link. In general you can pay to get a copy of any transcribed court proceeding assuming the court approves. Some small hearings are not transcribed (eg magistrates) so are not available. Records are only kept for a few years?

No [edit: ,] records are kept forever. There are court records going back to the middle ages, mostly stored in the National Archives (https://www.nationalarchives.gov.uk/help-with-your-research/...).

No records are kept forever.

Not to be that guy; but, I think you need a comma in there: "No, records are kept forever" or just remove "no." Maybe it was just me; but, I read that sentence as saying records were not kept forever.

Court records need to be kept, since they can provide precedent.
