Section 52 — Youth Criminal Justice Act: Review of order made under section 51

A youth justice court may, on application, review an order made under section 51 at any time after the end of the period set out in subsection 119(2) (period of access to records) that applies to the record of the offence that resulted in the order being made. In conducting a review under this section, the youth justice court shall take into account the nature and circumstances of the offence in respect of which the order was made; and the safety of the young person and of other persons. When a youth justice court conducts a review under this section, it may, after giving the young person, a parent of the young person, the Attorney General and the provincial director an opportunity to be heard, confirm the order; revoke the order; or vary the order as it considers appropriate in the circumstances of the case. No variation of an order made under paragraph (3)(c) may be more onerous than the order being reviewed. Subsections 59(3) to (5) apply, with any modifications that the circumstances require, in respect of a review under this section.
