Failure to comply with this Part of this Act.
|
73.—(1) Whenever a young person who resides in a district to which this Part of this Act applies fails or neglects to attend for instruction in accordance with this Part of this Act and so far as is known to the enforcing authority for such district there is no reasonable excuse for such failure or neglect, such authority shall serve on the parent of such young person a warning in the prescribed form—
|
|
| |
(a) requiring him within one week after such service to cause such young person to attend for instruction in accordance with this Part of this Act, or to give to the authority a reasonable excuse for not so doing; and
|
|
| |
(b) informing him that in the event of his failure to comply with the terms of the foregoing paragraph proceedings will be instituted against him under this Act; and
|
|
| |
(c) informing him that if, within three months after such proceedings, he again fails to comply with this Part of this Act further proceedings may be instituted against him without previous warning.
|
|
| |
(2) If a parent does not comply with a warning duly served on him under this section, he shall, unless he satisfies the Court that he has used all reasonable efforts to cause the young person to whom such warning relates to attend for instruction in accordance with this Part of this Act, be guilty of an offence under this section and be liable on summary conviction thereof, in the case of a first offence, to a fine not exceeding twenty shillings and, in the case of a second or any subsequent offence (whether in relation to the same or another young person), to a fine not exceeding forty shillings.
|
|
| |
(3) Whenever a parent within three months after being convicted of an offence under the foregoing sub-section fails without reasonable excuse to cause the young person in respect of whom he was so convicted to attend for instruction in accordance with this Part of this Act, such parent shall, unless such young person has ceased to be a young person, be guilty of an offence under this sub-section and be liable on summary conviction thereof to a fine not exceeding forty shillings.
