## Explanatory note

(This note is not part of the Rules)
These Rules amend the Youth Courts (Constitution of Committees and Right to Preside) Rules 2007 (S.I. 2007/1611) by dissolving the combined youth panel for the Inner London area and making consequential amendments.
These Rules replace reference to ‘Area Director’ with ‘Delivery Director’ reflecting the change in title of those staff of Her Majesty’s Courts and Tribunals Service whom the Lord Chief Justice must consult before forming or dissolving combined youth panels for local justice areas.
The effect of these Rules (along with changes made to the Justices of the Peace (Training and Development Committee) Rules 2007 (S.I. 2007/1609)) is that functions in relation to youth courts in the Inner London area that were previously carried out by the Inner London Youth Training and Development Committee will now be carried out by Bench Training and Development Committees, as is the case elsewhere in England and Wales.
