100First set of conditions for a remand to youth detention accommodation: extradition casesE+W
(1)For the purposes of section 91(4)(b), the first set of conditions for a remand to youth detention accommodation in an extradition case is met in relation to a child if each of the following is met in relation to the child—
(a)the age condition (see subsection (2)),
[F1(aa)the sentencing condition (see subsection (2A)),]
(b)the offence condition (see subsection (3)),
(c)the necessity condition (see subsection (4)), and
(d)the first or second legal representation condition (see subsections (5) and (6)).
(2)The age condition is that the child has reached the age of twelve.
[F2(2A)The sentencing condition is that it appears to the court that, if the child were convicted in England and Wales of an offence equivalent to the offence to which the extradition proceedings relate or one or more of those offences, it is very likely that the child would be sentenced to a custodial sentence for that offence or those offences.]
(3)The offence condition is that the conduct constituting the offence to which the extradition proceedings relate, or one or more of those offences, would, if committed in England and Wales, constitute—
(a)a violent [F3, sexual or terrorism] offence, or
(b)an offence punishable in the case of an adult with imprisonment for a term of 14 years or more.
(4)The necessity condition is that the court is of the opinion, after considering all the options for the remand of the child, that only remanding the child to youth detention accommodation would be adequate—
(a)to protect the public from death or serious personal injury (whether physical or psychological) occasioned by further offences committed by the child, or
(b)to prevent the commission by the child of imprisonable offences [F4,
and that the risks posed by the child cannot be managed safely in the community].
[F2(4A)Before deciding whether to remand a child to youth detention accommodation in accordance with section 102 the court must consider the interests and welfare of the child.]
(5)The first legal representation condition is that the child is legally represented before the court.
(6)The second legal representation condition is that the child is not legally represented before the court and—
(a)representation was provided to the child under Part 1 of this Act for the purposes of the proceedings, but was withdrawn—
(i)because of the child's conduct, or
(ii)because it appeared that the child's financial resources were such that the child was not eligible for such representation,
(b)the child applied for such representation and the application was refused because it appeared that the child's financial resources were such that the child was not eligible for such representation, or
(c)having been informed of the right to apply for such representation and having had the opportunity to do so, the child refused or failed to apply.
