CHILDREN AND YOUNG PEOPLE ACT 1999 (NO. 63 OF 1999) - SECT 176

Registration of agreements

(1)     On application, the court must—

        (a)     if satisfied that it could make an order under this Act to the effect of the proposals in the agreement—register the agreement; or

        (b)     if not so satisfied—refuse to register the agreement.

(2)     However, the court may not register an agreement the effect of which would be equivalent to an enduring parental responsibility order.

(3)     If the court registers an agreement, it must give notice that it has done so to—

        (a)     the chief executive; and

        (b)     the community advocate.

(4)     On receiving a notice, the chief executive must provide a copy of that notice to each person mentioned in paragraph 174 (1) (a).

(5)     If the court refuses to register an agreement, it must give notice that it has done so to the chief executive.
