308B: Effect of judicial monitoring direction

You could also call this:

"What happens when a court orders you to check in and follow a plan to achieve your goals"

Illustration for Oranga Tamariki Act 1989

If you get a judicial monitoring direction, you have to go to court at the times the court says. The court wants to check if you are following the rules you were given and if you are making progress with your plan, which was made under section 335. The court made this plan to help you achieve your goals.

The court can ask you to come to court at any time while the direction is in place. If you do not go to court when you are supposed to, the court can send you a summons, which is like an official notice to appear in court.

If you do not show up to court after getting a summons, a judge can order a warrant for your arrest, which means the police can come and take you to court.
