Matters relating to approved programs
90 Matters relating to approved programs
This section applies in relation to an order under section 83(1)(e).
The Minister may, by notice in the Gazette, approve a program for this section.
If the Court is satisfied that the youth has satisfactorily completed the program, the Court may make an order discharging the youth without penalty.
If the Court is satisfied that the youth has failed to satisfactorily complete the program, the Court must:
revoke the order (if it is still in force); and
deal with the youth for the relevant offence or offences in any manner in which the Court could deal with the youth if it had just found the youth guilty of the offence or those offences.
In determining how to deal with the youth under subsection (4)(b), the Court must take into account the extent to which the youth had complied with the order or conditions or continuing obligation.
In dealing with a youth under this section, the Court must not impose on the youth a penalty greater than the maximum penalty it could have imposed on him or her in respect of the original offence.
