- All those who are in this Act expressed to have the right of abode in the [Bailiwick of Jersey] shall be free to live in, and to come and go into and from, the [Bailiwick of Jersey] without let or hindrance except such as may be required under and in accordance with this Act to enable their right to be established or as may be otherwise lawfully imposed on any person.
- Those not having that right maylive, work and settle in the [Bailiwick of Jersey] by permission and subject to such regulation and control of their entry into, stay in and departure from the [Bailiwick of Jersey] as is imposed by this Act; and indefinite leave to enter or remain in the [Bailiwick of Jersey] shall, by virtue of this provision, be treated as having been given under this Act to those in the [Bailiwick of Jersey] at its coming into force, if they are then settled there (and not exempt under this Act from the provisions relating to leave to enter or remain).
- Arrival in and departure from the [Bailiwick of Jersey] on a local journey from or to [the United Kingdom, the Bailiwick of Guernsey, the Isle of Man] or the Republic of Ireland shall not be subject to control under this Act, nor shall a person require leave to enter the [Bailiwick of Jersey] on so arriving, except insofar as any of those places is for any purpose excluded from this subsection under the powers conferred by this Act; and in this Act the [Bailiwick of Jersey] and those places, or such of them as are not so excluded, are collectively referred to as "the common travel area".
[(4) The Committee Minister may make rules as to the practice to be followed in the administration of this Act for regulating the taking of employment by persons not having the right of abode who are given leave to enter the Bailiwick and the
Subordinate Legislation (Jersey) Law 1960 shall apply to such rules.
(4A) The Lieutenant-Governor Minister shall give directions as to the practice to be followed in the administration of this Act for regulating the entry into and stay in the Bailiwick of persons not having the right of abode and such directions shall include provision for admitting (in such cases and subject to such restrictions as may be provided by the directions and subject or not to conditions as to length of stay or otherwise) persons coming for the purpose of taking employment, or for the purposes of study, or as visitors, or as dependants of persons lawfully in or entering
the Bailiwick.].
- Statement of Right of Abode in [Bailiwick of Jersey]
- A person is under this Act to have the right of abode in the [Bailiwick of Jersey] if-
- he is a British citizen; or
- he is a Commonwealth citizen who -

- has not ceased to be a Commonwealth citizen in the meanwhile.
- In relation to Commonwealth citizens who have the right of abode in the [Bailiwick of Jersey] by virtue of subsection (1)(b) above, this Act, except this section and section <5(2)>, shall apply as if they were British citizens; and in this Act (except as aforesaid) "British citizen" shall be construed accordingly.>

10 Removal of certain persons unlawfully in the Bailiwick of Jersey
(1) A person who is not a British citizen may be removed from the [Bailiwick of Jersey], in accordance with directions given by an immigration officer, if –
- having only a limited leave to enter or remain, he does not observe a condition attached to the leave or remains beyond the time limited by the leave;
- he has obtained leave to remain by deception; or
- directions ("the first directions") have been given for the removal, under this section, of a person ("the other person") to whose family he belongs.
- Directions may not be given under subsection (1)(c) unless the [Lieutenant Governor Minister] has given the person concerned written notice, not more than eight weeks after the other person left the [Bailiwick of Jersey] in accordance with the first directions, that he intends to remove the person concerned from the [Bailiwick of Jersey].
- If such a notice is sent by the [Lieutenant Governor Minister] by first class post, addressed to the person concerned's last known address, it is to be taken to have been received by that person on the second day after the day on which it was posted.
- Directions for the removal of a person under subsection (1)(c) cease to have effect if he ceases to belong to the family of the other person.
- Directions under this section –
- maybe given only to persons falling within a prescribed class;
- may impose any requirements of a prescribed kind.
- In relation to any such directions, paragraphs 10, 11, 16 to 18, [and 21] of Schedule 2 to the 1971 Act (administrative provisions as to control of entry), apply as they apply in relation to directions given under paragraph 8 of that Schedule.
- Directions for the removal of a person given under this section invalidate any leave to enter or remain in the [Bailiwick of Jersey] given to him before the directions are given or while they are in force.
- The costs of complying with a direction given under this section (so far as reasonably incurred) must be met by the [Committee Minister].
13 Proof of identity of persons to be removed or deported
- This section applies if a person –
- is to be removed from the [Bailiwick of Jersey] to a country of which he is a national or citizen; but
- does not have a valid passport or other document establishing his identity and nationality or citizenship and permitting him to travel.
- If the country to which the person is to be removed indicates that he will not be admitted to it unless identification data relating to him are provided by the [Lieutenant Governor Minister], he may provide them with such data.
- In providing identification data, the [Lieutenant Governor Minister] must not disclose whether the person concerned has made a claim for asylum.
- "Identification data" means –
- fingerprints taken under section 141; or
- data collected in accordance with [directions] made under section 144.
- "Removed" means removed as a result of directions given under section 10 or under Schedule 2 or 3 to the 1971 Act.
14 Escorts for persons removed from the Bailiwick of Jersey under directions
- Directions for, or requiring arrangements to be madefor, the removal of a person from the [Bailiwick of Jersey] may include or be amended to include provision for the person who is to be removed to be accompanied by an escort consisting of one or more persons specified in the directions.
- The [Committee Minister may by order] make further provision supplementing subsection (1).
- [Such order] may, in particular, include provision –
- requiring the person to whom the directions are given to provide for the return of the escort to the [Bailiwick of Jersey];
- requiring him to bear such costs in connection with the escort (including, in particular, remuneration) as maybe prescribed;
- as to the cases in which the [Committee Minister] is to bear those costs;
- prescribing the kinds of expenditure which are to count in calculating the costs incurred in connection with escorts.
15 Protection of claimants from removal or deportation
- During the period beginning when a person makes a claim for asylum and ending when the [Lieutenant Governor Minister] gives him notice of the decision on the claim, he may not be removed from, or required to leave, the [Bailiwick of Jersey].
- Subsection (1) does not prevent –
- directions for his removal being given during that period;
- a deportation order being made against him during that period.
- But no such direction or order is to have effect during that period.
25 Provision of facilities for immigration control at ports
(1) The person responsible for the management of a control port ("the manager") must provide the [Committee Minister] free of charge with such facilities at the port as the [Committee] may direct as being reasonably necessary for, or in connection with, the operation of immigration control there.
- "Control port" means a port in which a control area is designated under paragraph 26(3) of Schedule 2 to the 1971 Act.
- "Facilities" means accommodation, facilities, equipment and services of a class or description specified in an order made by the [Committee Minister].

- for the provision at any control port of immigration officers or facilities in addition to those (if any) needed to provide a basic service at the port;
- for the provision of immigration officers or facilities for dealing with passengers of a particular description or in particular circumstances.
- "Control port" has the same meaning as in section 25.
- "Facilities" includes equipment.
- "Basic service" has such meaning as may be prescribed.
31 Defences based on Article 31(1) of the Refugee Convention
- It is a defence for a refugee charged with an offence to which this section applies to show that, having come to the [Bailiwick of Jersey] directly from a country where his life or freedom was threatened (within the meaning of the Refugee Convention), he –
- presented himself to the authorities in the [Bailiwick of Jersey] without delay;
- showed good cause for his illegal entry or presence; and
- made a claim for asylum as soon as was reasonably practicable after his arrival in the [Bailiwick of Jersey].
- If, in coming from the country where his life or freedom was threatened, the refugee stopped in another country outside the [Bailiwick of Jersey], subsection (1) applies only if he shows that he could not reasonably have expected to be given protection under the Refugee Convention in that other country.
[(3) The offences to which this section applies are those –
- of fraud,
- of uttering a forged document,
- under section 24A of the 1971 Act (deception), or
- under section 26(1)(d) of the 1971 Act (falsification of documents),
and any attempt to commit any of those offences.
- A refugee who has made a claim for asylum is not entitled to the defence provided by subsection (1) in relation to any offence committed by him after making that claim.
- "Refugee" has the same meaning as it has for the purposes of the Refugee Convention.
- If the [Lieutenant Governor Minister] has refused to grant a claim for asylum made by a person who claims that he has a defence under subsection (1), that person is to be taken not to be a refugee unless he shows that he is.
[(10) The States may by Regulations amend subsection (3) by adding offences to those
for the time being listed there.]
32. Penalty for carrying clandestine entrants
- A person is a clandestine entrant if –
- he arrives in the [Bailiwick of Jersey] concealed in a vehicle, ship or aircraft,
- he passes, or attempts to pass, through immigration control concealed in a vehicle, or
- he arrives in the [Bailiwick of Jersey] on a ship or aircraft, having embarked –
- concealed in a vehicle; and
- at a time when the ship or aircraft was outside the [Bailiwick of Jersey],
and claims, or indicates that he intends to seek, asylum in the [Bailiwick of Jersey] or evades, or attempts to evade, immigration control.
- The person (or persons) responsible for a clandestine entrant is (or are together) liable to –
- a penalty of the prescribed amount in respect of the clandestine entrant; and
- an additional penalty of that amount in respect of each person who was concealed with the clandestine entrant in the same transporter.
- A penalty imposed under this section must be paid to the [Committee Minister] before the end of the prescribed period.
- Payment of the full amount of a penalty by one or more of the persons responsible for the clandestine entrant discharges the liability of each of the persons responsible for that entrant.
- In the case of a clandestine entrant to whom subsection (1)(a) applies, each of the following is a responsible person –
- if the transporter is a ship or aircraft, the owner or captain;
- if it is a vehicle (but not a detached trailer), the owner, hirer or driver of the vehicle;
- if it is a detached trailer, the owner, hirer or operator of the trailer.
- In the case of a clandestine entrant to whom subsection (1)(b) or (c) applies, each of the following is a responsible person –
- if the transporter is a detached trailer, the owner, hirer or operator of the trailer;
- if it is not, the owner, hirer or driver of the vehicle.
- Subject to any defence provided by section 34, it is immaterial whether a responsible person knew or suspected –
- that the clandestine entrant was concealed in the transporter; or
- that there were one or more other persons concealed with the clandestine entrant in the same transporter.
- Subsection (9) applies if a transporter ("the carried transporter") is itself being carried in or on another transporter.
- If a person is concealed in the carried transporter, the question whether any other person is concealed with that person in the same transporter is to be determined by reference to the carried transporter and not by reference to the transporter in or on which it is carried.
- "Immigration control" means [Bailiwick of Jersey] immigration control and includes any [Bailiwick of Jersey] immigration control operated in a prescribed control zone outside the [Bailiwick of Jersey].
33 Code of practice
(1) The [Committee Minister] must issue a code of practice to be followed by any person operating a system for preventing the carriage of clandestine entrants.
[(2) Before issuing the code, the Committee Minister must consult such persons as it
considers appropriate.]
- The [Committee Minister] may from time to time revise the whole or any part of the code and issue the code as revised.
- [Subsection (2) also applies] to any revision, or proposed revision, of the code.
34 Defences to claim that penalty is due under section 32
- This section applies if it is alleged that a person ("the carrier") is liable to a penalty under section 32.
- It is a defence for the carrier to show that he, or an employee of his who was directly responsible for allowing the clandestine entrant to be concealed, was acting under duress.
- It is also a defence for the carrier to show that –
- he did not know, and had no reasonable grounds for suspecting, that a clandestine entrant was, or might be, concealed in the transporter;
- an effective system for preventing the carriage of clandestine entrants was in operation in relation to the transporter; and
- that on the occasion in question the person or persons responsible for operating that system did so properly.
- In determining, for the purposes of this section, whether a particular system is effective, regard is to be had to the code of practice issued by the [Committee Minister] under section 33.
- If there are two or more persons responsible for a clandestine entrant, the fact that one or more of them has a defence under subsection (3) does not affect the liability of the others.
- But if a person responsible for a clandestine entrant has a defence under subsection (2), the liability of any other person responsible for that entrant is discharged.
35 Procedure
- If the [Committee Minister] decides that a person ("P") is liable to one or more penalties under section 32, he must notify P of his decision.
- A notice under subsection (1) (a "penalty notice") must –
- state the [Committee Minister]'s reasons for deciding that P is liable to the penalty (or penalties);
- state the amount of the penalty (or penalties) to which P is liable;
- specify the date before which, and the manner in which, the penalty (or penalties) must be paid; and
- include an explanation of the steps –
- that P must take if he objects to the penalty;
- that the [Committee Minister] may take under this Part to recover any unpaid penalty.
- Subsection (4) applies if more than one person is responsible for a clandestine entrant.
- If a penalty notice is served on one of the responsible persons, the [Committee Minister] is to be taken to have served the required penalty notice on each of them.
- The [Committee Minister] must nevertheless take reasonable steps, while the penalty remains unpaid, to secure that the penalty notice is actually served on each of those responsible persons.
- If a person on whom a penalty notice is served, or who is treated as having had a penalty notice served on him, alleges that he is not liable for one or more, or all, of the penalties specified in the penalty notice, he may give written notice of his allegation to the [Committee Minister].
- Notice under subsection (6) ("a notice of objection") must –
- give reasons for the allegation; and
- be given before the end of such period as may be prescribed.
- If a notice of objection is given before the end of the prescribed period, the [Committee Minister] must consider it and determine whether or not any penalty to which it relates is payable.
- The [Committee Minister] may by [order] provide, in relation to detached trailers, for a penalty notice which is served in such manner as may be prescribed to have effect as a penalty notice properly served on the responsible person or persons concerned under this section.
- Any sum payable to the [Committee Minister] as a penalty under section 32 may be recovered by the [Committee Minister] as a debt due to [it].
36 Power to detain vehicles etc. in connection with penalties under section 32
- If a penalty notice has been given under section 35, a senior officer may detain any relevant –
- vehicle,
- small ship, or
- small aircraft,
until all penalties to which the notice relates, and any expenses reasonably incurred by the [Committee Minister] in connection with the detention, have been paid.
- That power –
- may be exercised only if, in the opinion of the senior officer concerned, there is a significant risk that the penalty (or one or more of the penalties) will not be paid before the end of the prescribed period if the transporter is not detained; and
- may not be exercised if alternative security which the [Committee Minister] considers is satisfactory, has been given.
- If a transporter is detained under this section, the owner, consignor or any other person who has an interest in any freight or other thing carried in or on the transporter may remove it, or arrange for it to be removed, at such time and in such way as is reasonable.
- The detention of a transporter under this section is lawful even though it is subsequently established that the penalty notice on which the detention was based was ill-founded in respect of all or any of the penalties to which it related.
- But subsection (4) does not apply if the [Committee Minister] was acting unreasonably in issuing the penalty notice.
37 Effect of detention
- This section applies if a transporter is detained under section 36.
- The person to whom the penalty notice was addressed, or the owner or any other person claiming an interest in the transporter, may apply to the [Royal Court] for the transporter to be released.
- The [Royal Court] may release the transporter if it considers that –
- satisfactory security has been tendered in place of the transporter for the payment of the penalty alleged to be due and connected expenses;
- there is no significant risk that the penalty (or one or more of the penalties) and any connected expenses will not be paid; or
- there is a significant doubt as to whether the penalty is payable and the applicant has a compelling need to have the transporter released.
- If the [Royal Court] has not ordered the release of the transporter, the [Committee Minister] may sell it if the penalty in question and connected expenses are not paid before the end of the period of 84 days beginning with the date on which the detention began.
- "Connected expenses" means expenses reasonably incurred by the [Committee Minister] in connection with the detention.
- Schedule 1 applies to the sale of transporters under this section.
- Subsection (1) has effect in relation to offences committed after the coming into force of that subsection.
- Subsection (2) has effect in relation to persons arrested for offences alleged to have been committed after the coming into force of that subsection.
40 Charges in respect of passengers without proper documents
- This section applies if a person requiring leave to enter the [Bailiwick of Jersey] arrives in the [Bailiwick of Jersey] by ship, aircraft, [or road passenger vehicle] and, on being required to do so by an immigration officer, fails to produce –

- he had in place satisfactory arrangements (including, where appropriate, arrangements with other persons) designed to ensure that he did not carry passengers who did not, or might not, have documents of the required kind;
- all such steps as were practicable were taken in accordance with the arrangements to establish whether A had the required document or documents; and
- all such steps as were practicable were taken in accordance with the arrangements to prevent A's arrival in the [Bailiwick of Jersey] where –
- A refused to produce the required document or documents to a person acting in accordance with the arrangements; or
- for other reasons it appeared to that person that A did not, or might not, have the required document or documents.
- For the purposes of subsections (4) and (5), a document –

- the transporter in which the person in respect of whom the charge was imposed was carried; or
- any other transporter used (on any route) in the course of providing a service of carriage of passengers by [sea or air] by the person on whom the charge was imposed.
- If a transporter is detained under subsection (1) it may continue to be detained pending payment of any connected expenses.
- The [Royal Court] may release the transporter if it considers that –
- satisfactory security has been tendered in place of the transporter for the payment of the charge alleged to be due and connected expenses;
- there is no significant risk that the charge and any connected expenses will not be paid; or
- there is a significant doubt as to whether the charge is payable and the applicant has a compelling need to have the transporter released.
- If the [Royal Court] has not ordered the release of the transporter, the [Committee Minister] may sell it if the charge in question and connected expenses are not paid before the end of the period of 84 days beginning with the date on which the detention began.
