Section 35: Transfer of proceedings from youth court
Where a respondent is under the age of 18 years, applications for the making, variation or discharge of a prohibition order will be heard in the youth court in England and Wales and Northern Ireland. Where there are ongoing proceedings in the youth court and the respondent turns 18, this section enables rules of court to determine which court continues to have jurisdiction for the case; such rules may either provide for the case to continue to be heard in the youth court or be transferred to a magistrates' court (or, in Northern Ireland, a court of summary jurisdiction).
