What is the problem or issue the decision is trying to address?

Do children experience this problem differently from adults?

The Draft Royal Court Fees and Stamp Duties Fees (Jersey) Amendment Law 202- makes a number of amendments to Royal Court Law and the Stamp Duties Law. These changes include abolishing jurats fees, which are the last remaining physical court stamps; uprating court fees contained in the Stamp Duty law; and making judicial fees non-refundable when a late settlement removes the need for a hearing.

These changes are made to update court processes and do not directly impact children.

2)  Which groups of children and young people are likely to be affected?

Groups of children could include early years, primary or secondary education; young adults; children with additional learning needs; disabled children; children living in poverty; children from particular ethnic backgrounds; migrants; refugees; care experienced children and LGBTQ+ children

Children are not directly affected by this proposition.

3)  What is the likely impact of the proposed decision on children and on their rights?

Identify any potential positive OR negative impacts and include indirect impacts on children and their rights as described in the UNCRC

Will different groups of children be affected differently by this decision?

The proposed decision does not impact on any children's rights as set out in the Convention on the Rights of the Child.

4)  Is a full Children's Rights Impact Assessment required?

If you have identified impacts on children and their rights, a full CRIA should be completed. If no impacts are identified then a Full CRIA is not required, but please explain your rationale and how you reached this conclusion

A full impact assessment is not required as the decision does not impact children or their rights.
