May the head of a juvenile classification review board establish and operate a psychological counselling room, and what work must that room serve?

General information · Not legal advice

Material to check

In practice material of this kind, we read the papers recording which juvenile classification review board handled the matter and what work that board was performing, together with any document from the Ministry of Justice setting out how such a room is to be established and run.

These are types of material to look for, not evidence already verified by PRO SE.

Where readings differ

One reading treats the power as the board head's own and permissive: the head of a juvenile classification review board may establish and operate a juvenile psychological counselling room, but only so as to handle the work assigned to that board under the classification provision.

Another reading notes what the provision does not settle: it says nothing about which matters within that work call for a counselling room, how many rooms or what staff are needed, and leaves all of those matters to what the Ministry of Justice ordinance provides.

Your judgment

What in the record would show that the counselling room serves the classification-review work of the board whose head established it rather than some other purpose?

PRO SE does not make this decision or keep a case record on this public site.

When to reconsider

We look at this again if the provision is amended to change who may establish such a room or what work it must serve, or if the Ministry of Justice ordinance sets out what establishing and operating one requires.
