18 (1) This paragraph applies where— E+W

(b) the offender is convicted of an offence (the “further offence”) by a youth court or other magistrates' court (“the convicting court”).

(2) Sub-paragraphs (3) and (4) apply where—

(b) the convicting court is dealing with the offender for the further offence.

(3) The convicting court may revoke the order.

(4) Where the convicting court revokes the order under sub-paragraph (3), it may deal with the offender, for the offence in respect of which the order was made, in any way in which it could have dealt with the offender for that offence (had the offender been before that court to be dealt with for the offence).

(5) The convicting court may not exercise its powers under sub-paragraph (3) or (4) unless it considers that it would be in the interests of justice to do so, having regard to circumstances which have arisen since the youth rehabilitation order was made.
