Section 4(4) of the Detention Centres Ordinance must be given its plain meaning: a detention order cannot be made unless the Commissioner has informed the court that the young offender is suitable for detention and that a place is available; in the absence of such an affirmative opinion the magistrate's Detention Centre order was invalid and a Training Centre order was substituted.
