Explanation for order
174 Explanation for order
The Children's Court must explain the meaning and effect of any order that it makes in respect of a child as plainly and simply as possible and in a way which the Court considers the child and the child's parents will understand.
The explanation of an order given by the Children's Court must be given through an interpreter if the Court is satisfied that a child or a parent of a child has a difficulty in communicating in the English language that is sufficient to prevent the person from understanding the explanation.
An explanation of an order given by the Children's Court is not part of—
the order; or
the reasons for the order.
