Rule 10 Constitution of youth courts
A youth court shall consist of either—
a District Judge (Magistrates’ Courts) sitting alone; or
not more than three justices who shall include a man and a woman.
Paragraph (3) applies if it is not possible to comply with paragraph (1)(b) because—
no man or no woman is available due to circumstances unforeseen when the justices to sit were chosen; or
the only man or the only woman present cannot properly sit as a member of the court.
Where this paragraph applies, the court may be constituted without a man, or as the case may be, a woman if the other members of the youth court think it inexpedient in the interests of justice for there to be an adjournment.
Nothing in this rule shall be construed as requiring a youth court to include both a man and a woman in any case where a single justice has by law jurisdiction to act.
