Non-association and place restriction orders—explanation and official notice
25 Non-association and place restriction orders—explanation and official notice
If a court makes a non-association order or place restriction order for the offender, the court must ensure that reasonable steps are taken to explain to the offender in general terms (and in language the offender can readily understand)—
the nature of the order; and
the offender’s obligations under the order; and
the consequences if the offender breaches the obligations.
An offender may breach the obligations by failing to comply with them (see Legislation Act, dict, pt 1, def breach).
As soon as practicable after the court makes the non-association order or place restriction order, the court must ensure that written notice of the order, together with a copy of the order, is given to the offender.
For a young offender who is under 18 years old, the notice and order must also be given to a parent or person with parental responsibility (see s 133J).
Failure to comply with this section does not invalidate the non‑association order or place restriction order.
