PROBATION ACT (NORTHERN IRELAND)1950 - SECT 7

Supplementary provisions as to probation and discharge.

7.(1) Without prejudice to the provisions of [sub-section (2) of section
seventy-six] of the Children and Young Persons Act (Northern Ireland), [1968]
(which enables a court to order the parent or guardian of a child or
young person charged with an offence to give security for his good behaviour),
any court may, on making a probation order or
an order for conditional discharge under this Act, if it thinks it expedient
for the purpose of the reformation of the offender, require the offender, or
if the offender is a child, his parent or guardian, or if the offender is a
young person, the offender or his parent or guardian to give security for the
good behaviour of the offender. Any security given under this section shall be
given by way of recognizance.

Subs.(2)(3) rep. by 1980 NI 6 art.13 sch.2

(4) In proceedings before [the Crown Court] under the foregoing provisions of
this Act, any question whether a probationer has failed to comply with the
requirements of the probation order or has been convicted of an offence
committed during the probation period, and any question whether any person in
respect of whom an order for conditional discharge has been made has been
convicted of an offence committed during the period of conditional discharge,
shall be determined by the court and not by the verdict of a jury.

(5) The provisions of the Summary Jurisdiction Acts (Northern Ireland)
relating to the issue and service of summonses and the issue and execution of
warrants shall respectively apply to any summons or warrant issued by any
court, judge or justice of the peace under any of the foregoing provisions of
this Act.
