These legislative changes implement paragraph (a) of P.139/2020, namely to establish an Assembly of 49 Members, 37 elected from 9 new districts of comparable population size, plus the 12 Parish Connétables. The Privileges and Procedures Committee (“PPC”) has resolved to bring this to the Assembly in 2 tranches. Drafting and consultation is ongoing to make all of the necessary changes to the various pieces of legislation which underpin the election system stemming from paragraphs (b), (c) and (d) of P.139/2020, but the revisions to the constitution contained within this proposition are fundamental to those other legislative changes which will be debated in the next few months. -

The Sources of Jersey Law Richard Southwell, QC
Return to Contents The Sources Of Jersey Law Richard Southwell, QC This modest note is a voyage of personal exploration, not a statement of judicial views. Suppose that an English and Welsh/Scottish/Northern Irish QC receives the honour of appointment to the Court of Appeal of Jersey. He (or she) knows nothing of Jersey law and its sources. Where does he or she begin? The starting point now, as always since the Jersey Court of Appeal came into existence in 1964, is to consult Sir Godfray Le Quesne QC, whose advice, crisp, to the point and accurate, has unfailingly sustained several generations of non-Jersey members of the Court of Appeal. After that one must consult the books. Much help can be found in the Reports of the Commissioners appointed to enquire into the criminal law of Jersey (1847) ("the Criminal Report") and the civil, municipal and ecclesiastical laws of Jersey (1861) ("the Civil Report"). These Commissioners had the tasks of carrying out a thorough investigation of the laws and courts of Jersey, and not surprisingly they started with the sources of Jersey law, considering these under the two heads of common or customary law, and legislation. It is convenient to refer first to legislation, of which there are these kinds: 1. Royal Charters, which are listed in the appendix to the Criminal Report of 1847, including a charter attributed to the reign of King John (see the same Appendix at page 72) which, whether authentic or not, and of whatever date, has been recognised as correctly recording established privileges of the inhabitants of Jersey. -

Re the B Trust [2006] JRC 185
Re the B Trust [2006] JRC 185 ROYAL COURT {SAMEDI DIVISION} SIR PHILIP BAILHACHE (BAILIFF) AND JURATS LE BRETON AND ALLO JUDGMENT DATE: 6 DECEMBER 2006 Conflict of laws - Jersey - Principle of comity - English court purporting to vary Jersey trust - Whether Jersey court to enforce English order -Whether Jersey court to give directions to give effect to English order -Whether principles affected by amendment to statute - Observations as to appropriate course to be adopted by English courts in cases involving Jersey trusts ~ Trusts (Jersey) Law 1984, art 9 The husband and wife were among the beneficiaries of a Jersey trust. The trustee of the trust had submitted to the jurisdiction of the court in English matrimonial property proceedings between the husband and wife. The English court decided that the trust constituted a post-nuptial settlement under English law and made an order under the English Matrimonial Causes Act 1973 purporting to vary the Jersey trust by the creation of a sub-trust in favour of the wife. The trustee applied to the Jersey court for directions as to how it should respond to the English order. In the meantime an amendment to the Trusts (Jersey) Law 1984 had come into force. The husband argued that the statutory amendment rendered the English order unenforceable as the finding that the trust was a post-nuptial settlement was inconsistent with Jersey law and that art 9(4) as amended had removed the jurisdiction of the Jersey court to enforce the English order on the basis of comity. Held (giving substantial effect to the English order): (1) The function of the court was to decide whether, and if so to what extent, to give effect to the conclusions at which the English court had arrived. -

Draft Law Revision (Jersey) Law 200
STATES OF JERSEY r DRAFT LAW REVISION (JERSEY) LAW 200- Lodged au Greffe on 10th June 2003 by the Finance and Economics Committee STATES GREFFE DRAFT LAW REVISION (JERSEY) LAW 200- European Convention on Human Rights The President of the Finance and Economics Committee has made the following statement - In the view of the Finance and Economics Committee the provisions of the Draft Law Revision (Jersey) Law 200- are compatible with the Convention Rights. (Signed) Senator T.A. Le Sueur REPORT This draft Law represents a second step towards making the written law of Jersey more accessible for the public. The first step has been the creation, under the aegis of the Jersey Legal Information Board, of a database, in electronic form, of the written laws of Jersey, from 1771 onwards. The database, in itself, is a valuable asset. Not only is it a permanent archive of the written law as enacted, its maintenance in electronic form provides swift access to the law and facilitates better research of the law through the use of search functions. However it has a greater purpose, in that it is also an essential tool for the preparation of a law revision, which is the subject of this draft Law. Why a law revision is needed Many of the written laws of Jersey have been in force for decades and have been amended many times. They may use outmoded terminology and refer to appointments and things which have fallen into disuse or have been replaced. A reader must look at all the amendments to a law in order to understand its effect. -
Jersey Law Course 2011-12 Company
Jersey Law Course 2011-12 Company Law Dr Paul Omar The Institute is an independent, not-for-profit legal education and research body, established in 2008. It provides a focus for the study of the laws of the Channel Islands and their legal heritage and, more broadly, the challenges facing small jurisdictions and mixed legal systems. The Institute runs the Jersey Law Course (leading to the professional examinations for aspiring advocates and solicitors of the Royal Court) and offers tuition to students enrolled on the University of London LLB through the International Programmes. It also organises lunchtime lectures on aspects of Jersey law for the general public and continuing professional development events and conferences for the legal profession. More information is available at www.lawinstitute.ac.je. This publication is one of a series of guides to those areas of law covered by the syllabus for the Jersey Law Course. Each subject is taught by a team consisting of a visiting academic working closely with members of the Jersey legal profession. The guides have been formally approved for this purpose by the Board of Examiners established under the Advocates and Solicitors (Jersey) Law 1997. They are written as an educational aid rather than a comprehensive statement of the law. People referring to this guide for purposes other than study should bear this in mind. The authors, the Institute, and the Board of Examiners accept no liability for any loss that may arise from reliance on any of the guides. The Institute gratefully acknowledges funding from the States of Jersey for the original preparation of the guides, several Jersey law firms that made available their ‘student notes’ in 2008, and to members of the Board of Examiners.
