Oranga Tamariki Act 1989

Youth justice - Provisions relating to supervision orders and supervision with activity orders

306: Power of court to impose additional conditions

You could also call this:

"The court can add extra rules when it puts you under supervision."

Illustration for Oranga Tamariki Act 1989

When a court makes an order under section 283(k) to put you under supervision, the court can also add extra conditions. The court can say you must pay a certain amount of money within a certain time and in a certain way. The court decides this.

The court can also stop you from owning or driving a motorcycle or car. It can stop you from hanging out with certain people. The court can make you have a medical check or get treatment if it thinks it's necessary.

If the court wants you to have a medical check or treatment, it needs your consent if you are 16 or older. If you are under 16, your parent or guardian must agree, or someone who acts like a parent to you. If there is no one like that, a District Court Judge or the chief executive can agree.
