“(5) “(6) If the child elects trial by jury, the child may, without leave of the Court, withdraw the election at any time before the child is committed for trial and, if the child does so, the proceedings continue in the Youth Court as if the child had not made the election.
If the child elects trial by jury and the Youth Court is required or proposes to commit the child for trial for the offence, or the child elects trial by jury and at any time before committal for trial indicates to the Court that the child wishes to plead guilty to the offence,— “(a) the Youth Court must give the child the opportunity of forgoing the right to trial by jury and of electing to have the information heard and determined in a Youth Court by a Youth Court Judge; and if the child accepts that opportunity and elects to have the information heard and determined in a Youth Court by a Youth Court Judge, the Youth Court has the juris- diction to hear and determine the information and other- wise deal with the child in accordance with this Act as if he or she were a young person (but subject to subsec- tion (1)(a), (c), and (d)).” “(b) 16 Manner of dealing with purely indictable offences or (1) where person elects jury trial Section 274 is amended by repealing subsection (2) and sub- stituting the following subsections: “(2) The committal proceedings (including the standard committal, or committal hearing (if required)) must take place in accord- 14 2010 No 2 Children, Young Persons, and Their Families (Youth Courts Jurisdiction and Orders) Amendment Act 2010 Part 1 s 20 ance with Part 5 or 5A of the Summary Proceedings Act 1957, except that— “(a) the committal proceedings must take place in a Youth Court which, for that purpose,— has all the powers of a District Court; and “(i) “(ii) must be presided over by a Youth Court Judge or, in the absence of a Youth Court Judge, by a District Court Judge or by 2 or more Justices or by one or more Community Magistrates; and “(b) sections 329 and 438 of this Act, and not section 138 of the Criminal Justice Act 1985, apply in respect of the committal proceedings.
“(3) This section is subject to sections 275 and 276.” (2) The following are consequentially amended by repealing the items relating to section 274(2)(a) of the Children, Young Per- sons, and their Families Act 1989: (a) the Schedule of the District Courts Amendment Act 1998: Schedule 3 of the Summary Proceedings Amendment Act (No 2) 2008.

“(b) “(2) The Court— “(a) may refer the matter to the informant in the proceedings to consider whether to make an application for a declar- ation under section 67 on that ground in respect of the child and the offence or to deal with the matter in some other way; and “(b) must, on making a referral under paragraph (a), adjourn the proceedings pending the outcome of that referral.
“(3) If the proceedings are in respect of an information laid against the child for an offence, and are adjourned under subsection (2),— “(a) the Court may, at any time, discharge the information under section 282; but if not discharged earlier, the information is deemed to be discharged if, and when, an application for a declaration under section 67 on that ground in respect of the child and the offence first comes before a Family Court Judge.
“(4) An informant to whom a matter in respect of a child is referred “(b) under subsection (2) must— “(a) consider whether to make an application for a declar- ation under section 67 on that ground in respect of the child and offence or to deal with the matter in some other way; and “(b) give effect to his or her decision under paragraph (a), and ensure the Youth Court is advised promptly of the outcome of the referral.

“(b) “(6) Nothing in this section limits or affects the application to a child, in accordance with section 272(2A), of section 280, in- sofar as the child may be in need of care or protection on a ground other than that specified in section 14(1)(e).” 21 Court not to make orders unless family group conference held Section 281(2) is amended by repealing paragraphs (a) to (d) and substituting the following paragraphs: “(a) if a young person appears before the Court on a sum- mons issued under section 295, exercise any of the powers conferred on it by section 295(2); or if the Court under section 296B cancels a mentoring programme order, an alcohol or drug rehabilitation pro- gramme order, a supervision order, a community work order, a supervision with activity order, or an intensive supervision order under section 296G, substitute any other order in place of that order; or if the Court under section 316 cancels a supervision with residence order, substitute any other order in place of that order,—”.
