The young person applied for the dismissal of a charge of assault with intent to injure. It was argued that the charge was not considered at the Family Group Conference (FGC) and was therefore laid in non-compliance of Youth Justice processes. An FGC was held, the result was non-agreement. The FGC was then adjourned and the Youth Justice Coordinator returned the matter to the police who later charged the young person. The Judge believed this fulfilled the requirements to consider the charge at an FGC and the young person's application was dismissed.
