Section 9

A Juvenile Court shall be presided over by a magistrate.

The magistrate, when determining the method of dealing with a child or young person in respect of whom a written report is obtained by the

Juvenile Court regarding his background, family history, school record or such other matters, shall sit with two advisers selected from a panel of advisers nominated by the Chief Justice, except that where it appears that the

Court cannot without adjournment be fully constituted and that an adjournment would be inexpedient in the interests of justice, he may sit with one adviser or he may sit alone.

Except as modified or extended by this Act, the provisions of the

Criminal Procedure Code (Chapter 7) shall apply to a Juvenile Court as if that Court were a Court of a Magistrate.
