65 Court may remand youth
(1) The Court may, at any stage of proceedings in relation to a youth,
remand the youth and, by order:
(a) allow the youth to go at large; or
(b) release the youth on bail; or
(c) release the youth into the care and supervision of any person;
or
(d) remand the youth in custody.
(2) If the youth is remanded in custody, he or she can be detained in a
detention centre or, if the youth has turned 15 years of age, in
either a custodial correctional facility or detention centre as ordered
by the Court.
(3) Unless the youth is committed for trial in the Supreme Court, an
order remanding the youth in custody must not, except with his or
her consent, be for a period of more than 15 days.
Note for subsection (3)
Subsection (3) does not prevent the Court from making consecutive orders
remanding the youth in custody that result in the youth remaining in custody in
excess of 15 days.
(4) The Court may revoke an order made under subsection (1) and
may substitute any other order it can make under that subsection.
