Where a sentencing magistrate has not complied with s.109A(1) in relation to a young offender, the appellate court should obtain the necessary information or remit the matter to the Magistrate's Court for re-sentencing after the required reports are obtained; failure to comply does not automatically invalidate the sentence but renders it open to review and correction by remission or reconsideration.
