(1)Where it appears to a youth offender panel to be appropriate to do so, the panel may—

(b)resume consideration of the offender’s case at a further meeting of the panel.

(a)subsection (1)(b) shall not apply; and
(b)instead the panel shall refer the offender back to the appropriate court.
(3)If at a meeting of the panel—
(a)agreement is reached with the offender but he does not sign the record produced in pursuance of section 8(5), and
(b)his failure to do so appears to the panel to be unreasonable,
the panel shall end the meeting and refer the offender back to the appropriate court.
