C1SCHEDULE 8Transfer of youth rehabilitation orders to Northern Ireland
PART 4Effect of order made or amended in accordance with Part 1 of this Schedule
Powers of the home court in respect of the youth rehabilitation order
I116
1
The home court may exercise any relevant local power in relation to the youth rehabilitation order, subject to the following restrictions.
2
A “relevant local power” means a power which the home court could exercise in relation to a corresponding order by virtue of the legislation that applies in Northern Ireland in relation to such orders.
3
The home court may not discharge or revoke the order.
4
But that does not prevent the home court from exercising a power to revoke the order where—
a
the offender has been convicted of a further offence, and
b
the court has imposed a custodial sentence (and section 222(1) (meaning of “custodial sentence”) does not apply for this purpose).
5
The home court may not deal with the offender for the offence in respect of which the youth rehabilitation order was made.
6
If the youth rehabilitation order imposes a curfew requirement, the home court may not vary the order so as to specify curfew periods (within the meaning of paragraph 18 of Schedule 6) that could not be specified by a court in England and Wales if, applying the relevant assumptions, it were imposing the requirement.
7
For that purpose, “the relevant assumptions” are that the offender—
a
has just been convicted by or before the court in England and Wales of the offence in respect of which the youth rehabilitation order was made, but
b
is the same age as when in fact convicted of the offence.
