16th November 2006 Note

In accordance with a decision of the States on 25th October 2005, this meeting will continue, if necessary, on Wednesday 22nd and Thursday 23rd November 2006.

Explanatory Note regarding subordinate legislation tabled at this meeting. (See Item B)

R&O.121/2006

The effect of this Order is to reduce the fees payable under the Tourism (Jersey) Law 1948 for the registration, or the renewal of the registration, of premises listed in the Schedule to this Order. The decrease will take effect on the 1st January 2007. The decrease in the amount of the fees is approximately 11%. The fees were last increased on 1st October 2005.

The Order was made on 7th November 2006 and comes into force on 1st January 2007.

R&O.122/2006

The effect of this Order is to increase the fee for registration, or renewal of a registration, of a place of refreshment as required under the Places of Refreshment (Jersey) Law 1967. The increase will take effect on the 1st January 2007. The fee was last increased on 1st January 2006. The fee represents an increase of approximately 2.5%.

The Order was made on 7th November 2006 and comes into force on 1st January 2007.

R&O.123/2006

This Order increases the fees payable by ancillary dental workers for the entry, or the restoration, of the workers' names in one of the rolls kept in relation to ancillary dental workers of various types, from £38 to £39. The Order also reduces the fee chargeable for retention of a person's name on the roll from £25.50 to £23.00.

The Order was made on 8th November 2006 and will come into force on 1st January 2007. R&O.124/2006

This Order increases the fee for the cremation of an adult from £238 to £262 and increases from £44 to £45 the fee payable for completion of certain medical certificates required under the Cremation (Jersey) Law 1953.

The Order was made on 8th November 2006 and will come into force on 1st January 2007. R&O.125/2006

These Rules are concerned with matters of pleading and procedure in the Royal Court when issues arising under the Human Rights (Jersey) Law 2000 fall to be determined by it. The Rules insert a new Part 9A in the Royal Court Rules 2004 applying to proceedings in any division of the Court (see Rule 9A/1(2)).

Rule 9A/2 govern what must be specified in pleadings if a party seeks to rely on the Human Rights Law (see the wide definition of pleading' in Rule 9A/1(1)).

Under the draft Rule 9A/3(1) & (2), the Court will not be able to make a declaration of incompatibility unless notice has been given to the Attorney General and he has been joined as a party to the proceedings. The remainder of Rule 9A/3 is self-explanatory in terms of the procedure to be followed where a party includes a claim for a declaration of incompatibility or where a claim is made under the Human Rights Law in respect of a judicial act (see Article 10 of the Human Rights Law). The Court will give directions in certain cases (note that Court', where necessary, includes the Bailiff and the Judicial Greffier by virtue of the general definition of Court' in Rule 1/1(1) of the principal Rules).

The draft Rule 9A/4 will make provision as to certain rules of evidence when a claim is heard by the Court for a remedy under Article 8 of the Human Rights Law in respect of a judicial act which is alleged to have infringed the claimant's Article 5 Convention Rights, and which is based on a finding by another court or tribunal that the claimant's Convention Rights have been infringed.

The Rules were made by the Superior Number of the Royal Court on 13th November 2006 and come into force on the same date as the Human Rights Law itself, namely, 10th December 2006 (Rule 2).
