ABSTRACT
Notwithstanding section 46(1) of the Children and Young Persons Act 1933 a magistrates’ court which is not a youth court may hear an information against a child or young person if he is charged:
(a) with aiding, abetting, causing, procuring, allowing or permitting an offence with which a person who has attained the age of 18 is charged at the same time; or
(b) with an offence arising out of circumstances which are the same as or connected with those giving rise to an offence with which a person who has attained the age of 18 is charged at the same time.
