IM v R & SB v R

JFCY intervened in these two matters, that were heard together, considering the interpretation and application of s. 72 of the Youth Criminal Justice Act. This section provides for young people to be sentenced as adults where it has been established that the presumption of diminished moral blameworthiness has been rebutted, and where the sentencing provisions of the YCJA would be of insufficient length to hold the young person accountable for their offending behaviour.
