young defendant

young defendant
as a result of a decision of the European Court of Human Rights, the English courts now adhere to a practice direction by which children and young persons are to be called young defendants in the County Court and provision is made for making the court process fairer and 'friendlier' for such persons and to avoid treating them along with 'harder' adult offenders: Practice Direction, [2000] TLR 111.
