Crimes (Sentencing) Act 2005

A judge or magistrate may issue a warrant for a young offender’s arrest if satisfied, by information on oath, that there are reasonable grounds for suspecting that the offender has breached any of the offender’s therapeutic correction obligations.

The warrant must—

be in writing signed by the judge or magistrate; and

be directed to all police officers or a named police officer; and

state briefly the matter on which the information is based; and

order the arrest and bringing of the offender before the sentencing court.

A police officer who arrests the offender under the warrant must, as soon as practicable, bring the offender before the sentencing court.

However, if the sentencing court is not sitting, the police officer must, as soon as practicable, bring the offender before a magistrate for a decision in relation to bail until the offender can be brought before the sentencing court.

For remanding or granting bail to the offender, see the Bail Act 1992.
