7(1)This paragraph applies where—E+W
(a)an offender appears or is brought before the Crown Court under paragraph 5 or by virtue of paragraph 6(3), and
(b)it is proved to the satisfaction of that court that the offender has breached a requirement of the youth rehabilitation order without reasonable excuse,
and must be read with paragraphs 8 to 11.
(2)The Crown Court may deal with the offender in respect of that breach in any one of the following ways—
(a)by ordering the offender to pay a fine of an amount not exceeding £2,500;
(b)by amending the terms of the youth rehabilitation order to add or substitute any requirement which it could include in a youth rehabilitation order if, applying the relevant assumptions, it were now making such an order in respect of the relevant offence;
(c)by re-sentencing the offender for the relevant offence.
(3)In this paragraph—
“relevant offence” means the offence in respect of which the youth rehabilitation order was made, and
the “relevant assumptions” are that—
the offender has just been convicted of the relevant offence by or before the court dealing with the offender, and
the offender is the same age as when in fact convicted of that offence.
(4)Sub-paragraph (2)(b) is subject to paragraph 10.
(5)In dealing with the offender under sub-paragraph (2), the Crown Court must take into account the extent to which the offender has complied with the requirements of the youth rehabilitation order.
(6)Where the Crown Court deals with an offender under sub-paragraph (2)(c), it must revoke the youth rehabilitation order if it is still in force.
(7)In proceedings before the Crown Court under this paragraph any question whether the offender has breached a requirement of the youth rehabilitation order is to be determined by the court and not by the verdict of a jury.
