REPORT
The Rate Appeal Board is established under the Rates (Jersey) Law 2005. Members are required to hear and determine appeals against rateable values in accordance with the Law.
Under Article 44 of the Rates (Jersey) Law 2005, and in line with the Jersey Appointments Commission Code of Practice for appointments to autonomous and quasi-autonomous public bodies and tribunals, the Minister is pleased to recommend the re-appointment of Christine Vibert for a further three-year term of office. The Minister for Treasury and Resources is grateful she has put herself forward for a further term and would like to thank her for her service thus far.
Under Article 44(2) of the Rates (Jersey) Law 2005 the Rate Appeal Board shall consist of neither fewer than 5 nor greater than 9 members appointed by the States on the recommendation of the Minister for Treasury and Resources. As such the Minister for Treasury and Resources is recommending the appointment of an additional 4 members to the Rate Appeal Board bringing the total number of members actively serving to 5.
Unfortunately one of the previously appointed Rate Appeal Board members has sadly passed away, Mr. Clive Borrowman. Mr. Borrowman had served as a member of the Rate Appeal Board since 2016 and, prior to that, worked as a Law Draftsman for the States for 13 years. Two other current members of the Board, Messrs Marett and Routier were first appointed in 2013 and, in accordance with the Appointments Commission policy that persons should serve no more than 10 years, neither will be eligible for reappointment in March 2022. The Minister would like to thank the former members, including Mr Goodwin who is not seeking reappointment, of the Rate Appeal Board for their service.
Following an open recruitment process on Island the Minister for Treasury and Resources is proposing the following as new members of the Rate Appeal Board:
- Mr Scott Hollywood
- Mr John Refault
- Mr Barry le Beuvant
- Mr Ron Treby
The Minister is grateful that these individuals have put themselves forward for public service and requests the States Assembly’s approval of a reappointment and the appointment of 4 new members to the Rate Appeal Board.
