12 Preparation and service of copies of children’s community service order

(1) A court which makes a children’s community service order shall, as soon as practicable after making the order, cause the order to be reduced to writing.

(2) The court shall cause a copy of a children’s community service order:

(a) to be served on the person in respect of whom the order is made before that person leaves the precincts of the court,

(b) to be sent to the Director-General, and

(c) in the case of a court other than the Children’s Court-to be sent to a Registrar of the Children’s Court together with such documents and information as it considers likely to be of assistance to the Children’s Court.

(4) The failure of a court to cause a copy of a children’s community service order to be served on or sent to a person in accordance with this section does not invalidate the order.
