Explanatory Note.
(This Note is mor part of the order, but is intended to Indicare its general purport),
The Orders of 1933 and 1994 assigning portions of the Colony to juvenile courts specified therein have no present application and can be cancelled. Under subsection (1) of section 3 of the Juvenile Offenders Ordinance any court (other than the Supreme Court) hearing a charge against a child or young person shall be a juvenile court unless there is an adult co-defendant. There is therefore no need for juvenile courts to be formally constituted under subsection (5) of that section.
