§ 16.1-359 Litigating certain issues when the juvenile is incompetent

A finding of incompetency does not preclude the adjudication, at any time before trial, of a motion objecting to the sufficiency of the petition, nor does it preclude the adjudication of similar legal objections which, in the court’s opinion, may be undertaken without the personal participation of the juvenile.

History

This law was first created in 1999. The record of its establishment is cataloged in chapters 958 and 997 of that year’s edition of “Acts of Assembly,” the annual state publication listing all changes made to the Code of Virginia in that year.

1999, cc. 958, 997.
