(2) In this Schedule “the appropriate court”, in relation to a relevant order, means a youth court ....
[(2A) In this Schedule “the relevant court”, in relation to a relevant order, means—

(b)the Crown Court, if the relevant order was made by the Crown Court.]
(3) For the purposes of this Schedule a relevant order made on an appeal brought from a magistrates' court is to be treated as if made by the magistrates' court; and a relevant order made on appeal brought from the Crown Court or from the Court of Appeal is to be treated as if made by the Crown Court.]
[Breach of relevant orderN.I.
2—(1) Paragraphs 3 and 4 make provision for dealing with an offender if, while a relevant order is in force in respect of him, it is proved to the satisfaction of the [relevant court], on the application of the responsible officer, that the offender has failed to comply with any requirement of the order.N.I.
(2) But nothing in those paragraphs prevents the [relevant court] from making an order revoking, amending or extending the relevant order under paragraph 5 in such circumstances.
(3) In dealing with an offender under paragraph 3 or 4, a court must take into account the extent to which he has complied with the requirements of the relevant order.
(4) An offender who is required by a youth conference order to submit to treatment for a mental condition, or for a dependency on drugs or alcohol, is not to be treated for the purposes of paragraph 3 or 4 as having failed to comply with that requirement on the ground only that he has refused to undergo any treatment if, in the opinion of the court, his refusal was reasonable having regard to all the circumstances.]
[Order as punishment for breachN.I.
3—(1) The [relevant court] may—N.I.
(a)in the case of a reparation order, make an attendance centre order in respect of the offender; or
(b)in the case of a community responsibility order or a youth conference order, make an attendance centre order or a community service order in respect of him.
(2) The [relevant court] may make an order under sub-paragraph (1) whether or not it also makes an order revoking, amending or extending the relevant order under paragraph 5.
(3) Articles 37 and 38 of this Order have effect in relation to attendance centre orders under sub-paragraph (1), but as if the references in paragraph (1) of Article 37 to any court having (or, but for certain provisions, having) the power mentioned in that paragraph were to the [relevant court].
(4) Article 13(1), (4), (6), (7)(b) to (9) and (11) and Article 14 of the Criminal Justice (Northern Ireland) Order 1996 (N.I. 24) have effect in relation to community service orders under sub-paragraph (1)(b), but as if—
(a)the reference in paragraph (1) of Article 13 to a court by or before which a person is convicted of an offence punishable with imprisonment were to the [relevant court]; and
(b)the reference in that paragraph to the age of a person when convicted were to his age when the [relevant court] determines that he has failed to comply with any requirement in a community responsibility order or youth conference order.
(5) Article 13(2) of that Order has effect in relation to community service orders under sub-paragraph (1)(b), but as if for sub-paragraphs (a) and (b) there were substituted “not more than 60 hours”.

(a)revoke the order (if it is still in force); and
(b)deal with the offender, for the offence in respect of which it was made, in any way in which it could deal with him if he had just been found guilty of the offence by or before the court.]
(5) In proceedings before the Crown Court under [this paragraph] any question whether the offender has failed to comply with the requirements of the relevant order is to be determined by the Crown Court and not by the verdict of a jury.
(6) In dealing under this paragraph with an offender who has wilfully and persistently failed to comply with a requirement, [the relevant court may] assume that he has refused to give his consent to a community sentence which has been proposed by the court and requires that consent or a youth conference order.]
[Revocation, amendment and extension of relevant orderN.I.

(a)make an order revoking the relevant order;
(b)make an order amending the relevant order; or
(c)make an order extending the period specified in Article 3C(5), 36C(3)(b) or 36G(4).
(2) . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

(10) Where an application under sub-paragraph (1)(a) for the revocation of a relevant order is dismissed, no further application for its revocation may be made under that sub-paragraph by any person except with the consent of the relevant court.]
[Dealing with relevant order when sentencing after subsequent convictionN.I.
6—(1) This paragraph applies where an offender in respect of whom a relevant order is in force is dealt with for an offence by the appropriate court, a court of summary jurisdiction other than the appropriate court or the Crown Court.N.I.
(2) The court may do anything which it could do under paragraph 5 in relation to the order if an application were made to it by the responsible officer (and, in the case of a court which is not the relevant court, it were the relevant court).
(3) If the court is the appropriate court or a court of summary jurisdiction other than the appropriate court and the order was made by the Crown Court, sub-paragraph (2) does not apply but the court may commit the offender to custody or release him on bail until he can be brought or appear before the Crown Court.
(4) Where a court deals with an offender's case under sub-paragraph (3), it must send to the Crown Court such particulars of the case as may be desirable.
(5) Where by virtue of that sub-paragraph an offender is brought or appears before the Crown Court, the Crown Court may do anything which it could do under paragraph 5 if an application were made to it by the responsible officer.]
