JUDGMENT
THE DEPUTY BAILIFF:
1. Both parents in this case have been very supportive of their sons. Nevertheless the fact remains that when the boys were 16 they were out quite late, drinking to excess and committing the very serious offence that they did on this occasion. As we said at the time they were both lucky not to serve periods of youth detention. It is important that parents should take responsibility for their children and do their best to ensure that they do not drink to excess and go out and get into trouble.
2. In the circumstances we think it is right to make an order on this occasion under Article 9 of the Criminal Justice (Young Offenders)(Jersey) Law 1994, and we note that both parents have accepted this. We also hope very much that the two defendants realise that they have put their parents in a difficult position by their actions and that they will take note of this and try not to get into trouble in the future.
3. We are going to make the order suggested. In the case of Mr and Mrs B that is £1,000 until JB's 18th birthday. In the case of JE that is £500, again until his 18th birthday. The sums must be paid to the Viscount within 7 days.
