If it appears to a court, where it has jurisdiction in accordance with subsection (2), that a young person in whose case an order for conditional discharge has been made —
has been convicted by any court of an offence committed during the period of conditional discharge; and
has been dealt with in respect of that offence,
the court may issue a summons requiring that person to appear at the time and place specified in the summons or issue a warrant for that person's arrest.
Jurisdiction for the purpose of subsection (1) may be exercised —
where the order for conditional discharge was made by the Grand Court, by that court;
where the order for conditional discharge was made by a court of summary jurisdiction other than a youth court, by any such court; or
where the order for conditional discharge was made by a youth court, by any such court.
If a young person in whose case an order for conditional discharge has been made by the Grand Court is convicted by any court of summary jurisdiction of an offence committed during the period of conditional discharge, the court of summary jurisdiction may commit that person to custody or release that person on bail until that person can be brought to appear before the Grand Court.
Where it is proved to the satisfaction of the court by which an order for conditional discharge was made that the person in whose case the order was made has been convicted of an offence committed during the period of conditional discharge, the court may deal with that person , for the offence for which the order was made, in any manner in which it could deal with that person if that person had just been convicted by or before that court of that offence.
If a person in whose case an order for conditional discharge has been made by any court of summary jurisdiction is convicted before the Grand Court of an offence committed during the period of conditional discharge, the Grand Court may deal with that person , for the offence for which the order was made, in any manner in which the court of summary jurisdiction could deal with that person if that person had just been convicted by or before that court of that offence.
