12 Preparation and service of copies of children’s community service order

(1) A court which makes a children’s community service order shall, as soon as practicable after making the order, cause the order to be reduced to writing.

(2) The court shall cause a copy of a children’s community service order—

(a) to be served on the person in respect of whom the order is made before that person leaves the precincts of the court,

(b) to be sent to the Secretary, and

(c) in the case of a court other than the Children’s Court—to be sent to a Registrar of the Children’s Court together with such documents and information as it considers likely to be of assistance to the Children’s Court.

(3) (Repealed)

(4) The failure of a court to cause a copy of a children’s community service order to be served on or sent to a person in accordance with this section does not invalidate the order.
