Schedule 1          Amendment
                                                                        (Section 3)



       Section 10A Children's Registrars [as inserted by Act No 158 of
       1998]

       Insert after section 10A (2):
               (3) Despite the provisions of the Children and Young Persons
                   (Care and Protection) Act 1998 and the other provisions of this
                   Act, the functions that may be conferred or imposed on a
                   Children's Registrar by the rules include:
                   (a)    any function of the Court or a Children's Magistrate
                          under the Children and Young Persons (Care and
                          Protection) Act 1998, and
                   (b)    any function of the Court or a Children's Magistrate
                          under this Act that relates to a function referred to in
                          paragraph (a).
               (4) A function referred to in subsection (3) that is exercised by a
                   Children's Registrar is taken to have been exercised by the
                   Court or a Children's Magistrate, as the case requires.
               (5) A decision or order made or direction given by a Children's
                   Registrar when exercising a function referred to in subsection
                   (3) may be set aside or varied by the Court.
               (6) The conferring or imposing of a function of the Court or a
                   Children's Magistrate on a Children's Registrar does not
                   prevent the exercise of the function by the Court or a
                   Children's Magistrate.
