96 Breach of community work order
(1) A youth who is the subject of a community work order breaches the
order if the youth:
(a) fails to comply with a term or condition of the order; or
Youth Justice Act 2005 66
(b) fails to carry out the youth's obligations under section 95; or
(c) disturbs or interferes with any other person participating in or
doing anything under a community work order; or
(d) assaults, threatens, insults or uses abusive language to a
community youth justice officer or the project supervisor; or
(e) changes address to avoid the youth's obligations under this
Act.
(2) If the community work order that is breached is in addition to one or
more other community work orders in force in respect of the youth,
any time spent participating in approved projects under the orders
is taken to have been spent in the projects in the succession in
which the orders were made, and the youth is taken to be in breach
of all the orders that remain unsatisfied.
