Note:  The Minutes of this meeting comprise Part A only.

Complaints  A1.  The Committee, with reference to its Minute No. A15 of 16th December Panel: update.  2014,  received  a  draft  proposition  relating  to  the  appointment  of  the 1386/2/2(18)  Chairman/ Deputy Chairman of the States of Jersey Complaints Panel.

The Committee recalled that, following his election to the States as the Deputy of St. Ouen in October 2014, Advocate R.J. Renouf had resigned as Chairman. In respect of this vacancy, the Appointments Panel had concluded that Mr. N. Le Gresley  should  be  appointed  as  Chairman  of  the  Complaints  Panel  for  the remainder of his term of office until July 2015. Thereafter, it was suggested by the Appointments Panel that Mr. G.G. Crill should be appointed as Chairman for a period of five years. It was further recommended that Mr. S. Catchpole Q.C. become Deputy Chairman with immediate effect.

The  draft  proposition  laid  before  the  Committee  sought  to  affect  these recommendations,  which  had  previously  been  accepted  by  the  Committee  in principle at its meeting on 16th December 2014.

The Committee, having noted the content of the draft proposition, approved the same and requested that it be lodged au Greffe' for consideration by the States at its meeting on 20th January 2015.
