Youth Justice Act 1992

Subject to subsections (2) and (3), for the purposes of the powers and jurisdiction of a Childrens Court conferred by this Act, the provisions of the Criminal Code, Justices Act 1886 and other Acts apply to—

the institution and conduct of a proceeding before a Childrens Court; and

the exercise by a Childrens Court of its powers and jurisdiction; and

the enforcement of an order made by a Childrens Court.

Provisions applied under subsection (1) apply, with all necessary modifications and any prescribed modifications—

in relation to a Childrens Court judge in the way they apply in relation to the District Court; and

in relation to a Childrens Court magistrate in the way they apply in relation to a Magistrates Court.

To the extent that another provision of this Act is inconsistent with a provision applied under subsection (1), the other provision of this Act prevails.
