(3C) This paragraph applies in relation to a child if the court has been notified by the Secretary of State that no suitable accommodation for that child is available in a young offenders centre.]
[F3(8) Where a court makes a juvenile justice centre order in respect of a child, it may, subject to Chapter 5 of Part 2 of the Criminal Justice (Northern Ireland) Order 2008, impose a curfew requirement or an electronic monitoring requirement (within the meaning of that Chapter) during all or part of the period of supervision to which the child is subject under the order.]

41.—(1) Where a juvenile justice centre order has been made and it appears upon a complaint made to a justice of the peace that the offender has failed to comply with any requirements under [F8Article 39(8) or] Article 40(2) or (3), the justice may—
(b)if the complaint is in writing and on oath, issue a warrant for the offender's arrest requiring him to be brought before a youth court specified in the warrant.
(2) If it is proved to the satisfaction of the court before which the offender appears or is brought under this Article that he has failed without reasonable excuse to comply with requirements under [F9Article 39(8) or] Article 40(2) or (3), the court may deal with him in respect of the failure in any of the following ways, namely—
[F10(i)in a juvenile justice centre if he has not attained the age of 17 or falls within paragraph (2A); or
(ii)in a young offenders centre in any other case.]
[F10(2A) The offender falls within this paragraph if he—
(a)has attained the age of 17;
(b)has not attained the age of 18 and will not attain that age within the next 30 days; and
(c)has not had a custodial sentence (other than the juvenile justice centre order in question) imposed on him within the last two years,
and the court, after considering a report made by a probation officer, considers that it is in his best interests to order him to be detained in a juvenile justice centre (and not in a young offenders centre).
(2B) Where the court imposes a fine on the offender under paragraph (2)(a)—
(a)if he has not attained the age of 16, it shall order that the fine be paid by the parent or guardian of the child instead of by the child, unless it is satisfied that there is good reason for not so doing; and
(b)if he has attained that age but has not attained the age of 18, it may so order.
(2C) A fine ordered under paragraph (2B) to be paid by a parent or guardian may be recovered from him by distress, or he may be imprisoned in default of payment, in like manner as if the order had been made on the conviction of the parent or guardian of the offence for which the juvenile justice centre order was made.
(2D) A parent or guardian may appeal to a county court against an order under paragraph (2B).]
