Section 110: Reparation order: availability

Sentencing Act 2020 · 2020 c. 17View on legislation.gov.uk

Part 6: Orders relating to conduct — CHAPTER 2: Reparation orders for offenders aged under 18

A reparation order is available to a court dealing with an offender for an offence where—

the offender is convicted of the offence before the day on which section 162 of the Police, Crime, Sentencing and Courts Act 2022 comes into force,
the offender is aged under 18 when convicted,
the offence is not an offence the sentence for which is fixed by law, and
the court is not proposing to—
impose a custodial sentence,
make a youth rehabilitation order, or
make a referral order.

But a reparation order is not available unless the court has been notified by the Secretary of State that arrangements for implementing reparation orders are available in the area in which it appears to the court that the offender resides or will reside (and the notice has not been withdrawn).

A reparation order is not available if the offender is subject to a youth rehabilitation order, unless when it makes the reparation order the court revokes the youth rehabilitation order.

For the power of the court to revoke the youth rehabilitation order, see Part 5 of Schedule 7 (powers of court in relation to youth rehabilitation order following subsequent conviction).
