Limitation on Court's power to require bond
26 Limitation on Court's power to require bond
The Court may not, in the exercise of its power to sentence a youth for an offence, require the youth to enter into a bond.
The Court may, however, by order of the Court, impose an obligation of the kind that might otherwise have been imposed under a bond.
The obligations imposed under subsection (2) may, for example, include the following:
an obligation to submit to supervision as ordered by the
Court;
an obligation to participate in a specified programme, or to attend a specified activity centre;
an obligation to carry out specified work (whether for the benefit of a victim of the offence, a person who has suffered loss or damage or for any other person or body);
an obligation to reside where directed by the Court.
A person who fails to comply with an obligation imposed under this section is guilty of an offence. Maximum penalty: Maximum penalty: $2 500 or detention for 6 months (or both).
If an order has been made under this section imposing an obligation that a person be supervised for a period that will extend past the person's
21st birthday, the Court may, on application by the person or the Chief
Executive, direct that, after the person reaches 21 years of age, the person be supervised by a community corrections officer rather than by a community youth justice officer.
In subsection (5)—
community corrections officer means a community corrections officer under the Correctional
Services
Act 1982.
