In 2016, Queensland introduced changes to mental health legislation, providing additional powers to Magistrates in relation to soundness of mind and fitness for trial. This article explores the application of fitness for trial to young people in the Magistrate's Court. It begins with a discussion of fitness for trial broadly, exploring issues with the current legal test, and discusses the unique application of the test in Queensland. By highlighting the inherent vulnerabilities of young people involved in the legal system, we identify the gaps and challenges of assessing fitness for trial with this population. In conclusion we recommend further exploration of alternative models for resolving questions of fitness for trial for young people involved in the criminal justice system.
2016年，昆士兰州对心理健康立法进行了修订，赋予治安法官在心智健全和受审能力方面更多权力。本文探讨了受审能力在治安法院对青少年的适用情况。文章首先广泛讨论了受审能力，探讨了现行法律测试存在的问题，并论述了该测试在昆士兰州的独特适用情况。通过强调参与法律系统的青少年所固有的脆弱性，我们找出了对这一群体进行受审能力评估时存在的差距和挑战。最后，我们建议进一步探索替代模式，以解决刑事司法系统中青少年的受审能力问题。
