Background

The Bailiff 's Chambers has experienced a higher than typical volume of Court cases in 2021  and  as  a  result  are  expected  to  exceed  the  allocated  budget  of  £278,000. Conversely the Judicial Greffe have significantly underspent in 2021 and the Judicial Greffier has agreed to make available to the Bailiff 's Chambers up to £150,000 for the Department not to exceed expenditure limits.

The  practice  of  transferring  C&CC  budgets  has  been  permitted  historically  in recognition of the volatility that can occur with C&CC activity between departments.
