CHILDREN AND YOUNG PERSONS ACT (NORTHERN IRELAND) 1968 - SECT 96

Power of probation officer, etc., to bring child or young person before court.

96.(1) Any court by or before which a person is convicted of having committed
in respect of a child or young person any of the offences mentioned in
Schedule 1 (not being an offence which resulted in the death of the child or
young person)

(a)may direct that the child or young person be brought before a juvenile
court with a view to that court making such order under section 95 as may be
proper; or

(b)if satisfied that the material before the court is sufficient to enable it
properly to exercise jurisdiction, may make any order which a juvenile court
might make.

(2) Where any court has, under subsection (1), directed that a child or
young person be brought before a juvenile court it shall be the duty of [the
Ministry of Home Affairs] ... to bring him before such a court under
section 94(1).

(3) Where a child or young person is brought, under section 94, before a
juvenile court other than one acting for the petty sessions district in which
he resides and the court is of opinion that he might be found to be in need of
care, protection or control, the court, instead of dealing with the case, may
direct that he be brought before a juvenile court acting for the petty
sessions district in which he resides; and where the court so directs

(a)it shall be the duty of [the Ministry of Home Affairs] ... to bring him
before such a court under section 94 within twenty-one days; and

(b)the court may give such directions as appear to it necessary with regard to
the custody of the child or young person until he can be brought before that
juvenile court and shall cause the clerk of that juvenile court to be
informed.
