Part 10Proceedings before sheriff

Review of sheriff's determination

115Recall: power to refer other grounds

1

This section applies where—

a

the sheriff makes an order under section 114(3), but

b

another section 67 ground specified in the same statement of grounds that gave rise to the grounds determination is accepted or established.

2

If the person to whom the grounds determination relates is still a child, the sheriff must direct the Principal Reporter to arrange a children's hearing for the purpose of considering whether a compulsory supervision order should be made in relation to the child.

3

If the sheriff is satisfied that the nature of the child's circumstances is such that for the protection, guidance, treatment or control of the child it is necessary as a matter of urgency that an interim compulsory supervision order be made, the sheriff may make an interim compulsory supervision order in relation to the child.

4

If the sheriff is satisfied that there is reason to believe that the child would not otherwise attend the children's hearing, the sheriff may grant a warrant to secure attendance.
