                                 CODE OF VIRGINIA

LITIGATING CERTAIN ISSUES WHEN THE JUVENILE IS INCOMPETENT (§ 16.1-359)

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&#8217;s opinion, may be undertaken without the personal participation of
the juvenile.
