STATES OF JERSEY

LAW REVISION BOARD: SUMMARY OF DECISIONS – APRIL 2025

Presented to the States on 18th June 2025 by the Law Revision Board

STATES GREFFE

2025 R.95

Decisions made by the Law Revision Board

Introduction

The Law Revision Board met on 28th April 2025. This report records the decisions made by the Law Revision Board at that meeting.

The Law Revision Board (the Board) was established under the Law Revision (Jersey) Law 2003 and continued by the Legislation (Jersey) Law 2021 (the "Legislation Law"). The purpose of the Board is to consider draft revisions submitted by the Principal Legislative Drafter and, if satisfied the revisions are within the powers set out in Article 14 or Schedule 1 of the Legislation Law, to certify the revisions.

Article 15(9) of the Legislation Law states:

"The Minutes or other record of the transactions of the business of the Law Revision Board must be laid before the States within 2 months of the business being transacted."

This report is laid before the States to satisfy the requirements of Article 15(9).

Record of the business of the Law Revision Board transacted on 28th April 2025

The Board agreed –

• to certify the revised law in item 2025/1, which alphabetises entries in the Road Traffic (Public Parking Places) (Jersey) Order 2006 (document appended)

• to certify the revised law in item 2025/2, which corrects an Article heading in the Dormant Bank Accounts (Jersey) Law 2017 (document appended)

• to certify the revised law in item 2025/3, which replaces references to an Order in Council with its current short title (document appended)

• to certify the revised law in item 2025/4, which corrects cross-references to the Income Tax (Jersey) Law 1961 (document appended)

• to certify the revised law in item 2025/5, which updates references to repealed legislation (document appended)

• to certify the revised law in item 2025/6, which renumbers Schedule paragraphs (document appended)

• to certify the revised law in item 2025/7, which deletes redundant definitions (document appended)

• to certify the revised law in item 2025/8, which makes consistent reference to the library (document appended)

APPENDICES

Law Revision Board item 2025/1: alphabetising entries in the Road Traffic (Public Parking Places) (Jersey) Order 2006

Overview

This document asks the Law Revision Board to certify a draft revision as revised legislation. If certified by the Board, the revision will take effect on the date that the record of the Board's decision is laid before the States.

Part 1 (pages 1 and 2) explains the issue giving rise to the draft revision, the types of changes made in the draft revision, and the legislative powers relied on in the preparation of the draft revision.

Part 2 (page 2) lists the changes made in the draft revision.

Part 3 (pages 3 to 12) contains the draft revision.

Part 4 (pages 13 to 22) contains an appendix showing the current law for comparison.

Part 1: Background

The issue

Schedule 1 to the Road Traffic (Public Parking Places) (Jersey) Order 2006 (the "2006 Order") is arranged in Parts, one Part for each parish.

Lists in legislation are normally presented alphabetically so that it is easy for the reader to locate any particular entry. In the case of parishes this traditionally starts with Grouville , continues with the parishes from St. Brelade to St. Saviour , and ends with Trinity .

The sequence of the parishes in Schedule 1 to the 2006 Order is not alphabetical, meaning that St. Clement , St. Lawrence , St. Peter , St. Saviour and Trinity appear outside of the expected order. The parish entries within the Parts of Schedule 2 are arranged to match the sequencing in Schedule 1.

The task of locating an entry in relation to a specific parish would be made easier by rearranging the entries in Schedule 2 into the same alphabetical order as would result from the revision to Schedule 1.

For completeness, the entries in Schedules 3 and 4 are not affected and therefore not included in this paper.

The proposed solution

We propose to rearrange Schedules 1 and 2 so that the Parts and entries are presented in alphabetical order by parish, as described above. The changes are shown in green text in Part 3 of this paper and an appendix is included to show the text as currently published.

Is the proposed solution within the Law Revision Board's powers?

Article 15(7) of the Legislation (Jersey) Law 2021 (the "Legislation Law") allows the Law Revision Board to certify a draft revision as revised legislation only if the Board is satisfied that the changes made by the revision are within the powers set out in Article 14 or Schedule 1 of the Legislation Law.

The changes made by the draft revision fall within the power in Schedule 1, clause (c): "to rearrange the provisions of any legislation or any list in a provision of any legislation".

Part 1: Background

The issue

Article 23 of the Dormant Bank Accounts (Jersey) Law 2017 provides Order-making powers for the Minister and Regulation-making powers for the States in relation to matters related to the Law. However, the heading to Article 23 is "Orders" – it does not mention Regulations. This could cause difficulties for a user of the legislation who is trying to locate provisions relating to Regulations.

The proposed solution

We propose to replace the heading to Article 23 so that it becomes "Orders and Regulations".

Is the proposed solution within the Law Revision Board's powers?

The changes made by the draft revision fall within the power in Schedule 1, clause (e): "to add a heading to a provision of any legislation that does not have one and alter any heading to a provision or part of any legislation".

Law Revision Board item 2025/3: replacing references to an Order in Council with its current short title

Overview

Part 1 (page 1) explains the issue giving rise to the draft revision, the types of changes made in the draft revision, and the legislative powers relied on in the preparation of the draft revision.

Part 2 (page 2) lists the changes made in the draft revision. Part 3 (pages 3 to 5) contains the draft revision.

Part 1: Background

The issue

The Loi (1851) autorisant l'établissement des règlements sur la police des chemins (the "Loi") was made by Her late Majesty Queen Victoria through Her Privy Council. The Loi allows Jersey to make provision about the policing of the public roads by Regulations, without requiring the Privy Council to sanction primary legislation. Historically, the Loi was referred to in Jersey legislation as "Ordre du Conseil confirmant certain Acte des États en date du 5 novembre 1851, lequel sollicite l'autorisation d'établir des Règlements sur la Police des Chemins sans recourir à la Sanction Royale." The Statute Law Revision (No. 3) (Jersey) Law 1966 introduced the "new" short title that the Loi is known by today.

Unfortunately, inconsistency has crept into the way the Loi is referred to in more modern legislation, with several instances of it being referred to as an Order in Council and the date on which the Order was made.

The proposed solution

We propose to replace all references in Jersey legislation to "the Order in Council of 26th December 1851" (and its variants) with the correct short title of the Loi.

Is the proposed solution within the Law Revision Board's powers?

The changes made by the draft revision fall within the power in Schedule 1, clause (l): "to alter any words to secure uniformity of expression in any legislation"; and clause (q): "to do all other things that appear to the Board to be necessary to render revised legislation consistent with current drafting practice".

Law Revision Board item 2025/4: correcting cross-references to the Income Tax (Jersey) Law 1961

Overview

Part 1 (page 1) explains the issue giving rise to the draft revision, the types of changes made in the draft revision, and the legislative powers relied on in the preparation of the draft revision.

Part 2 (page 2) lists the changes made in the draft revision. Part 3 (pages 2 to 4) contains the draft revision.

Part 1: Background

The issue

We have found 3 references in the statute book to Article 115(ab) of the Income Tax (Jersey) Law 1961. Article 115(ab) no longer exists – it was deleted by the Finance (2019 Budget) (Jersey) Law 2019.

Article 115 of the Income Tax Law provides miscellaneous exemptions from income tax. Before its deletion, Article 115(ab) applied to Guernsey charities, while Article 115(aa) applied to UK charities. When Article 115(ab) was deleted, Article 115(aa) was amended to apply to "excepted foreign charities", which catches both UK and Guernsey charities, as well as charities from other jurisdictions.

When Article 115 was amended, the consequential changes to other parts of the statute book were not addressed, meaning that old references to the deleted clause still exist.

The proposed solution

We propose to delete references in Article 115(ab). In each case, the reference also refers to Article 115(aa), which is the provision that now serves the function of the old Article 115(ab).

Is the proposed solution within the Law Revision Board's powers?

The changes made by the draft revision fall within the power in Schedule 1, clause (k): "to delete any obsolete or redundant words or provisions", and clause (p): "to substitute for a reference to any legislation or provision of any legislation that has been re-enacted or replaced, whether with or without modifications, a reference to the legislation or provision re-enacting or replacing it".

Gambling (Jersey) Law 2012

25 Interpretation: charitable and membership gambling

For the purposes of this Law a charitable gambling service is a gambling service that –
1. is provided for the purpose of raising funds for a charity; and
2. is not provided by a commercial operator.
For the purposes of this Law a membership gambling service is a gambling service that –

is provided –
1. by a group of persons all of whom are natural persons, or
2. on behalf of such a group by a member of the group;
is provided to members of that group and to no other person;
is not provided with a view to the profit of any person other than the members of that group; and

In this Article "charity" means a corporation, association, trust or non-profit organization referred to in Article 115(a) or (aa)Article 115(a), (aa) or (ab) of the Income Tax (Jersey) Law 1961.

Law Revision Board item 2025/5: updating references to repealed legislation

Overview

Part 1 (page 1) explains the issue giving rise to the draft revision, the types of changes made in the draft revision, and the legislative powers relied on in the preparation of the draft revision.

Part 2 (page 2) lists the changes made in the draft revision. Part 3 (pages 2 to 3) contains the draft revision.

Part 1: Background

The issue

The Diseases of Animals (Non-Rabies) (Importation of Mammals) (Jersey) Order 2011 refers to the Diseases of Animals (Jersey) Law 1956 in several places. However, that Law is no longer in force – it was repealed and replaced by the Animal Health (Jersey) Law 2016.

This does not present a problem from a legal perspective as Article 6 of the Legislation (Jersey) Law 2021 (the "Legislation Law") states:

6 Effect of repeal and re-enactment of Jersey legislation

If any Jersey legislation (whenever made) repeals any Jersey legislation and re-enacts any of its provisions, with or without modification, references in any other Jersey legislation to the provisions so repealed, unless provision is made to the contrary, are construed as references to the provisions so re-enacted.

However, users may face the problem of not knowing which legislation replaced the repealed legislation, and it makes the Diseases of Animals (Non-Rabies) (Importation of Mammals) (Jersey) Order 2011 unnecessarily difficult to use.

The proposed solution

We propose to replace all references in the Diseases of Animals (Non-Rabies) (Importation of Mammals) (Jersey) Order 2011 to the Diseases of Animals (Jersey) Law 1956 with references to the equivalent provisions in the Animal Health (Jersey) Law 2016.

Is the proposed solution within the Law Revision Board's powers?

Article 15(7) of the Legislation Law allows the Law Revision Board to certify a draft revision as revised legislation only if the Board is satisfied that the changes made by the revision are within the powers set out in Article 14 or Schedule 1 of the Legislation Law.

The changes made by the draft revision fall within the power in Schedule 1, clause (p): "to substitute for a reference to any legislation or provision of any legislation that has been re- enacted or replaced, whether with or without modifications, a reference to the legislation or provision re-enacting or replacing it".

"licence" means a licence granted under Article 2(1) of the Rabies Order;

"Rabies Order" means the Diseases of Animals (Rabies) (Importation of Mammals) (Jersey) Order 2011.

For the purposes of this Order and for the purposes of Articles 7, 12, 19, 20, 21 and 22 of, and Schedule 3, Part 1 to, the LawArticles 3, 4, 13, 14, 34, 34A, 34B, 35, 40 and 42 of the Law insofar as they may be applicable to the making, administration and enforcement of this Order –

the definition of "animal" in Article 4 of the Lawthe definition of "animals" in Article 1 of the Law is extended to include any animal belonging to the orders of mammals specified in the Schedule to the Rabies Order except where specified otherwise in that Schedule;

the definition of "disease" in Article 2 of the Lawthe definition of "disease" in Article 1 of the Law is extended to include, in respect of an animal –

Nipah disease;
Hendra disease;
mpox;
tapeworm (Echinococcus multilocularis).

This Order is for the purpose of preventing the introduction or spread in Jersey of the diseases referred to in paragraph (2).

"Animal" for the purposes of paragraph (1) includes a pet animal in relation to which the Pet Travel Scheme (Jersey) Regulations 2011 apply.

Law Revision Board item 2025/6: renumbering Schedule paragraphs

Overview

Part 1 (page 1) explains the issue giving rise to the draft revision, the types of changes made in the draft revision, and the legislative powers relied on in the preparation of the draft revision.

Part 2 (page 2) lists the changes made in the draft revision. Part 3 (pages 2 to 10) contains the draft revision.

Part 1: Background

The issue

We have identified 2 Laws that contain Schedules with incorrect paragraph numbering. Schedules with Parts should have consecutively numbered paragraphs, not restarting from 1 as in these candidates.

The proposed solution

We propose to renumber the paragraphs in the Schedules so that they comply with the correct practice. Renumbering the paragraphs has cross-referencing consequences, so we propose to also amend cross-references to the renumbered paragraphs.

We also propose to correct incorrect references to "paragraphs" that should actually refer to "sub-paragraphs".

Is the proposed solution within the Law Revision Board's powers?

The changes made by the draft revision fall within the powers in Article 14(1)(d)(iii): "errors in numbering, cross-referencing, and alphabetical ordering"; and Schedule 1, clause (o): "to add numbering to or renumber any provision".

PART 1

EXECUTION OF LASTING POWER OF ATTORNEY

1 Form and execution of LPA

An instrument conferring a lasting power of attorney must be in such form as may be prescribed, and must include –

a statement made and signed by the person conferring authority ("P"), attesting that –

P has read and understood such information, about the effect of the LPA, as may be prescribed, and
P intends the authority conferred by the LPA to include authority to make decisions on P's behalf in circumstances where P no longer has capacity to make them;

a statement made and signed by each person on whom authority is conferred ("A"), attesting that –

A has read and understood such information, about the effect of the LPA, as may be prescribed, and
A understands that the duties imposed by the LPA must be carried out in the light of Articles 3 (principles to be applied) and 6 (best interests); and

in relation to each of the statements mentioned in clauses (a) and (b), a statement made and signed by a person of a prescribed description ("W") who is neither P nor A, attesting –

that W has witnessed the execution of the instrument by P and A or by either P or A, as the case may be, and
where W has witnessed the execution of the instrument by P, to the matters in sub-paragraph (2).

The matters to which W must attest as mentioned in clause (1)(c) are that in W's opinion –

at the time of P's execution of the instrument, P understands the purpose of the LPA and the scope of the authority it confers;
no fraud or undue pressure is being used to induce P to confer such authority or execute the LPA; and
there is nothing else which would prevent a valid power from being conferred in the case.

In clauses (1)(a) and (b), a reference to reading information includes receiving information by any means (such as, but without limitation, aurally or by the use of Braille) by which that information may be communicated effectively.
Despite sub-paragraph (1), a LPA shall be valid when it has not been signed by P if –

P declared in the presence of a witness of a prescribed description that, being physically incapacitated to sign the LPA himself or herself, P wished the LPA to be signed by another person on P's behalf;

the declaration by P and the date it was made are recorded on the face of the LPA;
the LPA was read aloud to P (or, in the case where P is deaf, the whole contents of the LPA were made known to P by some other means) in the presence of the person signing the LPA on behalf of P and the witness; and
after the LPA was read to P (or in the case where P is deaf, after the whole contents of the LPA were made known to him or her by some other means), it was signed by some other person on P's behalf, in the presence of the witness and the witness put his or her signature to the LPA in the presence of P and that other person.

2 Power of Minister to prescribe information and guidance

Where a form is prescribed under paragraph 1, the Minister –

must prescribe the information mentioned in sub-paragraphs (1)(a) and (b) of that paragraph; and
may prescribe guidance to assist those executing an instrument creating a lasting power of attorney.

PART 2

REGISTRATION OF LASTING POWER OF ATTORNEY

13 Application for registration

A lasting power of attorney is not created, and no such power may be validly exercised, until the instrument purporting to create it is registered in accordance with this Part of this Schedule.
An application for registration must be made to the Judicial Greffe –

in the prescribed form, and including the instrument and all such other information as may be prescribed;
by P or by A; and
accompanied by the prescribed fee.

Where the instrument confers authority on more than one person to act jointly and severally, "A" in sub-paragraph (2)(b) means any one of the persons on whom authority is so conferred.

Law Revision Board item 2025/7: deleting redundant definitions

Overview

Part 1 (page 1) explains the issue giving rise to the draft revision, the types of changes made in the draft revision, and the legislative powers relied on in the preparation of the draft revision.

Part 2 (page 2) lists the changes made in the draft revision. Part 3 (pages 2 to 6) contains the draft revision.

Part 1: Background

The issue

We have identified several provisions that contain redundant definitions. Definitions are redundant if they:

• define terms that are defined in the interpretation provision of the same instrument; or

• define terms that are defined in Part 1 of the Schedule to the Interpretation (Jersey) Law 1954 (as those defined terms apply across the statute book).

The proposed solution

We propose to delete the redundant definitions.

Is the proposed solution within the Law Revision Board's powers?

The changes made by the draft revision fall within the power in Schedule 1, clause (k): "to delete any obsolete or redundant words or provisions".

Law Revision Board item 2025/8: making consistent reference to the library

Overview

Part 1 (page 1) explains the issue giving rise to the draft revision, the types of changes made in the draft revision, and the legislative powers relied on in the preparation of the draft revision.

Part 2 (page 2 to 3) lists the changes made in the draft revision. Part 3 (pages 3 to 12) contains the draft revision.

Part 1: Background

The issue

Regulation 1(1) of the Public Library (Jersey) Regulations 2007 (the "Public Library Regulations") includes the definition "Jersey Library" and "Library" mean the public library service of Jersey, yet there is inconsistency in the terminology used to refer to the Jersey library across the statute book, encompassing multiple variations.

The proposed solution

We propose to replace the definition "Jersey Library" in the Public Library Regulations with a definition "Public Library" and to use the term "the Public Library" consistently across the statute book.

We note that the definition in the Public Library Regulations does not apply across the statute book (it is not included in the Interpretation Law, but could be in the future), but we are satisfied that "the Public Library" is a sufficiently unambiguous term and that its use across the statute book will not result in legal uncertainty. In all but 1 instance (when read as amended) it is clear that the term means either the library service as a whole or (through the context of a specific location) a specific library. The exception is to be found in Article 1(1) of the Rates Law 2005, which specifies the library "in St. Helier ", a necessary distinction stating that documents must be made available at that location.

Is the proposed solution within the Law Revision Board's powers?

The changes made by the draft revision fall within the power in Schedule 1, clause (l): "to alter any words to secure uniformity of expression in any legislation".
