Rule 2.16. Detention order; review

The detention order will be subject to review, upon request of the minor, by the Court of First Instance with jurisdiction pursuant to §§ 2201 et seq. of this title, with prior notice to the Prosecutor.

The hearing to review the detention order will enjoy preference over all other matters and will be scheduled on the closest possible date within the five (5) days following the filing of the petition for review, unless just cause existed to the contrary.

At the hearing all circumstances pertinent to the release of the minor shall be considered, and the court shall hear, to that effect, the Prosecutor and examine the report prepared by the social worker. If release does lie in the judgment of the court, an order will be entered to such effect and the minor and his parents or guardians shall be summoned for the corresponding adjudicative hearing of the case.
