Appeals against Youth Treatment Orders

If the order is made by a magistrate, there is a right of appeal to the Supreme Court, constituted of a single judge [Youth Court Act 1993 (SA) s 22(2)(b)]. If the order is made by a Judge of the Youth Court, there is a right of appeal to the Court of Appeal [s 22(2)(a)].

On appeal, the Court may confirm, vary or revoke the order, remit the matter for hearing or make any other order necessary or desirable in the circumstances [s 22(3)].

Appeals must be lodged within 21 calendar days of the order the subject of appeal [Uniform Civil Rules 2020 (SA) r 214.1].

Legal advice should be sought before lodging an appeal.
