Art. 103 General applicability

The Children's Code sets the rules that apply in juvenile court cases. If a case is being handled in juvenile court, these are the rules the court will follow, unless a specific section of the Code says something different for that particular type of case.

This also means the Children's Code only applies to juvenile court proceedings. It does not apply to other types of court cases, like adult criminal cases or civil lawsuits between adults. So if you are dealing with a case in juvenile court, this Code is the main set of rules that will guide how the case moves forward, from start to finish, unless another part of the Code says otherwise for your specific situation.
