Status
The term provision is used to describe a definable element in a piece of legislation that has legislative effect – such as a Part, Chapter or section. A version of a provision is prospective either:
- where the provision (Part, Chapter or section) has never come into force or;
- where the text of the provision is subject to change, but no date has yet been appointed by the appropriate person or body for those changes to come into force.
Commencement Orders listed in the ‘Changes to Legislation’ box as not yet applied may bring this prospective version into force.
Changes to legislation:

39Youth default ordersE+W+N.I.
This section has no associated Explanatory Notes
(1)Subsection (2) applies in any case where, in respect of a person aged under 18, a magistrates' court would, but for [F1section 227 of the Sentencing Code] (restrictions on custodial sentences), have power to issue a warrant of commitment for default in paying a sum adjudged to be paid by a conviction (other than a sum ordered to be paid under section 6 of the Proceeds of Crime Act 2002 (c. 29)).
(2)The magistrates' court may, instead of proceeding under section 81 of the Magistrates' Courts Act 1980 (enforcement of fines imposed on young offender), order the person in default to comply with—
(a)in the case of a person aged 16 or 17, an unpaid work requirement (see [F2Part 3 of Schedule 6 to the Sentencing Code]),
(b)an attendance centre requirement (see [F3Part 5] of that Schedule), or
(c)a curfew requirement (see [F4Part 7] of that Schedule).
(3)In this section (and Schedule 7) “youth default order” means an order under subsection (2).
[F5(4)A youth default order—
(a)may, in addition to any other requirement that it imposes, impose an [F6electronic compliance monitoring requirement] (see sections 173 and 174 of the Sentencing Code), and
(b)must do so where, in the case of a youth rehabilitation order, such a requirement would be required by paragraph 19(3) of Schedule 6 to the Sentencing Code.]
(5)Where a magistrates' court has power to make a youth default order, it may, if it thinks it expedient to do so, postpone the making of the order until such time and on such conditions (if any) as it thinks just.
[F7(6)The following provisions of the Sentencing Code have effect in relation to youth default orders as they have effect in relation to youth rehabilitation orders, but subject to the modifications contained in Schedule 7 to this Act—
(a)sections 186(2), (10) and (11), 188, 190 to 192, 197, 198(3) to (5), [F8198A,] 397(1), 400 and 403 to 405 (youth rehabilitation orders: responsible officer, interpretation and further provisions),
(b)Parts 3, 5 [F9and 7] of Schedule 6 (youth rehabilitation orders: requirements),
[F10(ba)Part 17 of that Schedule (electronic monitoring requirements), so far as it applies to electronic compliance monitoring requirements,]
(c)Schedule 7 (breach, revocation or amendment of youth rehabilitation order),
(d)Schedule 8 (transfer of youth rehabilitation orders to Northern Ireland), and
(e)paragraph 9 of Schedule 23 (power to amend limits).]
(7)Where a youth default order has been made for default in paying any sum—
(a)on payment of the whole sum to any person authorised to receive it, the order ceases to have effect, and
(b)on payment of a part of the sum to any such person, the total number of hours or days to which the order relates is to be taken to be reduced by a proportion corresponding to that which the part paid bears to the whole sum.
(8)In calculating any reduction required by subsection (7)(b), any fraction of a day or hour is to be disregarded.
