CRIMES (RESTORATIVE JUSTICE) ACT 2004 (NO. 65 OF 2004) - SECT 23

Referral—procedure

    (1)     The referring entity must give a referral to the chief executive (restorative justice).

Note     Section 72 deals with what happens if the referring entity is the same chief executive as the chief executive (restorative justice), but the referral is made by the chief executive as chief executive (corrections) or chief executive (children and young people).

    That section provides that the chief executive must ensure that appropriate administrative arrangements are made for the referral to be given by a delegate of the chief executive as chief executive (corrections) or chief executive (children and young people) to a delegate of the chief executive as chief executive (restorative justice).

    (2)     The referral—

        (a)     must be in writing, stating the grounds for referral; and

        (b)     if the referring entity is a court—may be in the form of a court referral order or sentence-related order, or as a condition of a bail order.

Note     If a form is approved under s 73 for this provision, the form must be used.

    (3)     This section does not apply if the referring entity is the chief executive (restorative justice).

Note     The referring entity may be the chief executive (restorative justice) under table 22, item 1 or 5.
