The Magistrates' Courts (Children and Young Persons) Rules 1992
These Rules consolidate, with further amendments, the Magistrates' Courts (Children and Young Persons) Rules 1988 as amended by the other instruments mentioned in Schedule 1 (“the 1988 Rules”). Most of the further amendments are related to changes made by the Criminal Justice Act 1991 (c. 53) to the arrangements for dealing with young defendants and offenders, or to provisions in that Act (“the 1991 Act”) concerning children’s evidence. Consistently with section 70 of the 1991 Act (renaming of juvenile courts), references to youth courts throughout replace references to juvenile courts.
