(b)that other person, or any of those other persons, has attained that age,
subsection (2) below shall have effect notwithstanding proviso (a) in section 46(1) of the M1Children and Young Persons Act 1933 (which would otherwise require the charge against the juvenile to be heard by a magistrates’ court other than a [F1youth court]).
