Update a Breach Hearing

Once the breach hearing has been listed, a court appearance is created in the Court Appearances panel. This is linked to the original breach offence. After the breach hearing has taken place, you need to update the court appearance record and the original offence record.

A Breach of Order or Licence Conditions offence can be recorded at any point in the process, within the Offences panel on the young person’s case record.
