Powers of courts on committal of juvenile offenders. 75.(1) Where a child or young person would, if he were an adult, be liable to be committed to prison for any default, the court shall, in addition to any other powers exercisable by virtue of this or any other Act, have power if it considers that no other method of dealing with him is suitable, to commit him to custody in a remand home. (2) The term for which a person may be committed to custody in a remand home under this section shall not exceed the maximum term for which he could (or could if he were an adult) have been committed to prison and shall not on any occasion exceed one month. (3) This section applies in relation to the fixing of a term of imprisonment to be served in the event of default of payment of a fine or other sum of money as it applies in relation to committal to prison in default of such payment. (4) In this section "default" means failure to pay, or want of sufficient distress to satisfy, any fine or other sum of money, or failure to do or abstain from doing anything required to be done or left undone.
