United Kingdom Not yet in force
A relevant person may apply for an order varying or discharging a youth diversion order.
An application under this section is to be made—
in England and Wales or Northern Ireland—

to a magistrates’ court, in any other case;

On the application, the court may (after hearing from the applicant and the other relevant person, if they wish to be heard) make any order varying or discharging the order that the court considers appropriate.
The power to vary an order includes power to—
include an additional prohibition or requirement;
extend the period for which a prohibition or requirement has effect;
extend the period for which the order has effect by six months.
The period for which an order has effect may be extended under paragraph (c) on at most two occasions.
The court may make provision of a kind mentioned in subsection (4) only if it considers that the provision is necessary for the purpose of protecting members of the public from a risk of terrorism or other serious harm.
Subsections (8) and (10) of section 217 apply to additional prohibitions or requirements included on a variation of an order.
If an application under this section is dismissed, the applicant may not make a further application under this section without—
the consent of the court, or
the agreement of the other relevant person.
In this section “relevant person” means—
the person who applied for the youth diversion order, or
