Does a statement of reasons need to be provided?

California, United States of America


The following excerpt is from Juan T. v. Superior Court, 122 Cal.Rptr. 405, 49 Cal.App.3d 207 (Cal. App. 1975):

This court has previously discussed the need for a statement of reasons. In People v. Browning, 45 Cal.App.3d 125, 137, 138, 119 Cal.Rptr. 420, 428, in rejecting the defendant's contention that formal findings of fact were required, we pointed out that 'Kent specifically disclaims a requirement that the court should 'necessarily include conventional findings of fact.' All Kent requires is that the basis for the order be set forth 'with sufficient specificity to permit meaningful review. '' (Italics added.)
