The Parish of St Helier is proposing to mark the centenary in additional ways, including the creation of a monument recording the casualties of the war, as St Helier is the only parish not to have a memorial listing the names of the fallen, which it is hoped will be sited near the Cenotaph.

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.

  • Jersey & Guernsey Law Review
    Jersey & Guernsey Law Review – June 2010 THE CUSTOMARY LAW IN RELATION TO THE FORESHORE (2) Richard Falle and John Kelleher The second part of an extended article on the customary law in relation to the foreshore. The first part of the article (June 2008 edition) focussed on the connection between continental Normandy and the Islands, through their shared custom, in relation to the law as to the foreshore. It argued that according to the custom the foreshore was presumed to be parcel of the adjacent terra firma and accordingly parcel of a maritime fief. It concluded that the Duke of Normandy had no general claim to the foreshore and, barring certain limited ducal privileges, it formed part of the seigneurial regime and its ownership lay in private hands. The second article focuses on custom and practice in Jersey from 1204 to the present day to illustrate the law and use of the foreshore. The article reviews a range of evidence from the records of individual fiefs, 13th century enquiries undertaken in Jersey on behalf of the Crown, disputes over the foreshore, the views of customary writers and use of the foreshore ranging from varech, vraic, essiage, pescheries and the collection of salt. It also examines the changing attitude of the Crown to ownership of foreshore in Jersey and the genesis of the Crown’s claim to it. It concludes with the case of Les Pas Holdings Ltd and its claim to a private title in a significant part of the St. Helier seafront. Introduction 1 In the first part of this article we demonstrated a close connection between continental Normandy and the Islands through their shared custom.1 According to that custom the foreshore was presumed to be parcel of the adjacent terra firma and accordingly parcel of the maritime fief.
