  • Assise D'héritage Speech

    Assise D'héritage Speech

    1 BAILIFF’S SPEECH FOR ASSISE D’HERITAGE 14th SEPTEMBER 2009 1. The Assise d’Heritage is, amongst other things, the occasion on which the Seigneurs answer for their Fiefs which they hold from the Crown. It is therefore most fitting that Her Majesty’s personal representative in the Island should be present to witness the occasion as well as to answer himself on behalf of the Bishop’s, Abbotts and Abbesses. I am delighted therefore to welcome His Excellency and Mrs Ridgway to this ancient ceremony. 2. I am also very pleased to welcome three officials from the Ministry of Justice. Mr Patrick Bourke is the Head of the European Division of the International Directorate, which division includes the Crown Dependencies amongst its responsibilities. Mr Karl Banister is the Head of the Constitutional Law team and Miss Louise Moreland is one of the lawyers in that team. It is always helpful for officials from the Ministry of Justice to come and get to know the Island and see how we do things in practice and I am delighted that all three officials are with us today. As I said when I was sworn in as Bailiff, it would be wrong not to acknowledge that there have 2 been occasional tensions in the relationship between Her Majesty’s Government and the Crown Dependencies in recent years. But officials at the Ministry of Justice work hard to represent the Island’s interests and to assist us wherever possible. I would like to take this opportunity to thank Mr Bourke and his colleagues publicly for all their efforts on our behalf.

    The Review of the Roles of the Crown Officers

    The Review of the Roles of the Crown Officers December 2010 I am not an advocate for frequent changes in laws and constitutions, but laws and institutions must go hand in hand with the progress of the human mind. As that becomes more developed, more enlightened, as new discoveries are made, new truths discovered and manners and opinions change, with the change of circumstances, institutions must advance also to keep pace with the times.

    Crown Officers Review Submission - Part Two - Michael Dun 15 April 2010

    Crown Officers Review Submission - part two - Michael Dun 15 April 2010 In my initial written submission I stated that there were other matters that I would like to refer to if given the opportunity and I have now also had the chance to read many of the other written submissions and to hear witnesses. So, there are now many things I would like to add, if there is time. 1 Firstly, it is noticeable that many other submissions refer to the ancient historical pedigree of the Crown Appointments and in a sense I do not disagree with that. But, 800 years or so is not such a long time in the history of the world and no institution’s place is guaranteed just because it has been around for a long while. 2 As Tom Paine would have said, - a long habit of not thinking a thing wrong, gives it a superficial appearance of being right - and I think that his observation applies to the Crown Offices and many others aspects of the Jersey administration today. I don’t start-out with a presumption that they should exist, just because they do or have done so for a long time. I want to see and hear the evidence that justifies their continued existence. 3 Nostalgia, romance and a presumption of justification are not enough for me and I am struck by the absence of heroes – and even basic facts - in the submissions of those who support the system as it exists now and has supposedly existed over the past eight centuries.
