14Where the youth rehabilitation order was made or amended by the Crown Court, the Crown Court in Northern Ireland may direct that any proceedings in Northern Ireland in relation to the order be before a court of summary jurisdiction.

Effect of the youth rehabilitation order in Northern Ireland

15(1)The youth rehabilitation order is to be treated in Northern Ireland as if it were a corresponding order and the legislation which has effect in Northern Ireland in relation to such orders applies accordingly.

Powers of the home court in respect of the youth rehabilitation order

16(1)The home court may exercise any relevant local power in relation to the youth rehabilitation order, subject to the following restrictions.

(a)a power conferred by Part 3 of Schedule 7 (revocation of order with or without re-sentencing);

(b)a power conferred by paragraph 15 of that Schedule (amendment by appropriate court).

Breach of requirement: certificate of home court
