The Magistrates’ Courts (Injunctions: Gang-related Violence) Rules 2015

These Rules make provision for proceedings in youth courts in relation to applications for injunctions to prevent gang-related violence, under Part 4 of the Policing and Crime Act 2009 (as amended in particular by the Crime and Courts Act 2013). Under Part 4 of the 2009 Act, such proceedings were originally allocated to the High Court or county court regardless of the age of the respondent, but amendments made by the Crime and Courts Act 2013 provide for youth courts to deal with such proceedings where the respondent is aged under 18.
