(1) Unless it is
impracticable to do so, the juvenile justice team dealing with a young person
for an offence is to give any person it considers to have primarily suffered
as a consequence of the offence (a victim ) the opportunity to make
submissions or otherwise participate in the proceedings as it sees fit.
(2) If a victim is
present at the proceedings, a matter can only be disposed of by the team if
the victim agrees to —
(a) the
matter being disposed of by the team; and
(b) the
way in which the team disposes of the matter.
