This Order revokes the Juvenile Courts (London) Order 1975, the Juvenile Courts (London) (Amendment) Order 1984 and the Juvenile Courts (London) (Amendment) Order 1990. The effect of the Order is that divisions are no longer assigned to youth courts for the area comprising the Inner London boroughs and the City of London with places specified for the sitting of these courts. Instead any youth court may hear any matter within that area.
