(3) When any order has been made under paragraph (1)(b) and
the Court has reason to believe that the behaviour of the offender
during the period specified in the order is not good or that the
offender has not complied with any direction included in the order
the Court may issue a notice addressed to the offender and to the
parent, guardian, relative or other person to whom the offender
has been delivered or under whose supervision the offender has
been ordered to remain to show cause why that offender should
not be dealt with under paragraph (1)(d) and if cause is not
shown to the satisfaction of the Court, the Court may cancel the
order made under the said paragraph (1)(b) and substitute for it
as from the date of the cancellation an order under the Child
Act 2001, and may if necessary issue a warrant for the apprehension
of that offender so that effect may be given to the order.
First offenders
294. (1) When any person has been convicted of any offence
before any Court if it appears to the Court that regard being had
to the character, antecedents, age, health or mental condition
of the offender or to the trivial nature of the offence or to any
extenuating circumstances under which the offence was committed
it is expedient that the offender be released on probation of good
conduct, the Court may, instead of sentencing him at once to
any punishment, direct that he be released on his entering into
a bond with or without sureties and during such period as the
Court may direct to appear and receive judgment if and when
called upon and in the meantime to keep the peace and be of
good behaviour.
(2) The Court may, if it thinks fit, direct that the offender shall
pay the costs of the prosecution or some portion of the same
within that period and by such instalments as may be directed
by the Court.
Section 432 shall be applicable to any direction made under
this subsection.
