Part 10Proceedings before sheriff

Review of sheriff’s determination

115Recall: power to refer other grounds

(1)This section applies where—

(a)the sheriff makes an order under section 114(3), but

(b)another section 67 ground specified in the same statement of grounds that gave rise to the grounds determination is accepted or established.

(2)If the person to whom the grounds determination relates is still a child, the sheriff must direct the Principal Reporter to arrange a children’s hearing for the purpose of considering whether a compulsory supervision order should be made in relation to the child.

(3)If the sheriff is satisfied that the nature of the child’s circumstances is such that for the protection, guidance, treatment or control of the child it is necessary as a matter of urgency that an interim compulsory supervision order be made, the sheriff may make an interim compulsory supervision order in relation to the child.

(4)If the sheriff is satisfied that there is reason to believe that the child would not otherwise attend the children’s hearing, the sheriff may grant a warrant to secure attendance.
