STATES OF JERSEY

JERSEY CONSUMER COUNCIL: AMENDMENTS TO THE CONSTITUTION

Presented to the States on 18th April 2024

by the Minister for Sustainable Economic Development

STATES GREFFE

2024  R.61

REPORT

Background

The Jersey Consumer Council (JCC) was originally established by Act of the States on 25th April 1995. In February 2011, the States adopted P.182/2010, and subsequently P.89/2011,  which  recommended  that  the  JCC  be  established  as  an  Incorporated Association under Article 4 of the  Loi (1862) sur les teneures en fidéicommis et l'incorporation  d'associations.  The  benefits  of  achieving  this  included  greater independence, as well as the ability to enter into employment, research and consultancy contracts in its own right.

The JCC has recently made a number of updates to its Constitution with agreement from the Minister. Having previously notified the EIA Panel of these changes, the Minister has deemed it appropriate to present the below report detailing the updates for the Assembly.

Constitution Amendments

The constitution sets out the legal structure of the JCC, including definitions, functions, responsibilities and membership. Article 8 deals specifically with amendments, and for ease of reference Article 8.1(c) reads as follows-

no amendment may be made without prior written notice to the Minister of the details of the proposed amendment.'

In 2023, the JCC Chairman met with the Minister to set out initial ideas on updating the constitution and reasons for the proposals. The proposed amendments were:

• Expansion of the objectives of the Council to include reference to:

(i) Promoting  the  interests  of  young  people  as  consumers  and  raise awareness of their rights as consumers.

(ii) to consider the availability of choice for consumers including the ability to make resilient purchasing decisions that could include consideration of:  financial,  social,  material,  natural,  cultural,  experiential  and intellectual forms of capital.

• Maximum tenure of the Chair and Council members to be extended to up to nine years (increasing it from the current six consecutive years).

• Removal of the limit on the number of volunteer council members permitted.

• The removal of the need for Council Advisors.

• Amendments to definitions to correct references to the now defunct CICRA to the Jersey Competition Regulatory Authority.

• Amendments  to  correct  references  to  include  the  current  titles  of  the Government  Minister  (Minister  for  Economic  Development  changed  to Minister for Sustainable Economic Development) and Department (Economic Development Department changed to Department for the Economy).

• Removal of the requirement for volunteer Council Members to have their personal  email  addresses  published  on  the  Council's  website,  as  all  are contactable through the main Council email address which is published.

The Minister corresponded with the Economic and International Affairs Panel in March to invite comments on the proposed amendments before providing his approval. These letters can be found below:

• EIA Panel to Minister

• Minister to EIA Panel

Furter to discussions in 2023 and in line with Article 8.1 (c), formal written notice of the proposed amendments to the Constitution has now been received by the Minister from the JCC and this letter is included below for information.

  5. None of the income or property of the Council may be paid or transferred directly or indirectly by way of dividend bonus or otherwise by way of profit to any Member. This does not prevent:

  2. a Member from buying goods or services from the Council upon the same terms as other members of the public;
  3. the purchase of indemnity insurance for the Council or the Members against any liability that by virtue of any rule of law would otherwise attach to a Member in respect of any negligence, default or breach of duty of which he or she may be guilty in relation to the Council but excluding:

  2. costs of unsuccessfully defending criminal prosecutions for offences arising out of the fraud, dishonesty or wilful or reckless misconduct of the Member;
