Youth justice - Disposal of proceedings in Youth Court

290: Judge must record in writing reasons for supervision with residence or transfer order

You could also call this:

"The Judge must write down why they made a special order about where you live or who takes care of you."

Illustration for Oranga Tamariki Act 1989

If you are in the Youth Court and a Judge makes a special order, they must write down why they made that decision. This happens when the Judge uses their power under section 283(n) or (o) to make an order. The Judge has to record their reasons in writing when they make the order, so you can understand why they made that choice.
