This Order specifies types of road works which are "specified road works" (Article 1). Article 11 of the Road Works and Events (Jersey) Law 2016 prohibits specified road works from being undertaken without a permit. The activities include such things as crane operations and using scaffolding but in each case the activity must be carried out in a road. Certain activities are "specified road works" only if they require some form of traffic control as specified in the Order (for example temporary traffic lights, road narrowing or closure of a footway). Road works carried out by a highway authority or utility undertaker are excluded.
Article 2 provides for the Order to come into force on the day after the day it is made. The Order was made on 19th March 2018 and came into force on 20th March 2018.
R&O.34/2018.
EU Legislation (Sanctions – North Korea) (Amendment No. 2) (Jersey) Order 2018.
This Order amends the EU Legislation (Sanctions – North Korea) (Jersey) Order 2017 to give effect in Jersey to Council Regulation (EU) 2018/285 of 26 February 2018 (OJ L 55, 27.2.2018, p.1) amending Council Regulation (EU) 2017/1509 concerning restrictive measures against the Democratic People's Republic of Korea.
Article 1 amends the definition of Regulation (EU) 2017/1509 to include all amendments to that Regulation up to 28th February 2018.
Article 2 amends the list of prohibitions whose contravention carries criminal penalties, to cover the 5 new prohibitions inserted into Regulation (EU) 2017/1509. These include prohibitions on the import (or purchase or transfer) of certain agricultural products, machinery, types of earth, wood, ships and other items, as well as the export (or sale, supply or transfer) of certain machinery, vehicles and metals, as listed in new Annexes XIg to XIl to that Regulation.

The Order was made on 23rd March 2018 and came into force on 24th March 2018.

The main effect of the implementing Regulation (in force on 14th March 2018) is to make changes, in line with United Nations Security Council Resolution 2399 (2018), which amended the exemptions to the arms embargo and the designation criteria for the asset freeze of certain persons engaging in, or providing support for, acts that undermine the peace, stability or security of the Central African Republic.

This Order also amends the principal Order to increase the charges for parking in public parking places by approximately 5%. The charges for parking in public parking places were last increased on 1st February 2017.
The principal Order is further amended to provide that where an electric vehicle or plug in hybrid vehicle is first registered in Jersey after 31st January 2018 by an individual who is not the holder of a trade licence issued under Article 8 of the Motor Vehicle Registration (Jersey) Law 1993, no charge is payable for parking in public parking spaces for the period of 12 months beginning immediately after the date the vehicle was first registered in Jersey.

Article 2 adds a new definition "electronic payment device" to Article 1 of the 2002 Order, and by Article 5 breach of either of the new requirements is added to the offences in Article 11 of the 2002 Order.

Article 4 sets out the title of the Order and provides that the Order will come into force 7 days after being made.
The Order was made on 28th March 2018 and came into force on 4th April 2018.

Road Traffic (Speed Limits) (Amendment No. 10) (Jersey) Order 2018.
This Order amends the Schedules to the Road Traffic (Speed Limits) (Jersey) Order 2003 ("2003 Order"). Article 1 is an interpretation provision.
By Article 2, Schedule 1 to the 2003 Order is amended to replace the lists of roads in the parishes of St. Brelade and St. John that are subject to a 30 mph speed limit; to reduce the 30 mph speed limit to 20 mph in part of La Grande Route de St. Laurent in the parish of St. Lawrence ; to reduce the 30 mph speed limit to 15 mph in part of La Rue de La Blinerie in the parish of St. Clement so that it applies to the whole of that road; and extend the 30 mph limit on La Rue des Sapins in the parish of St. Peter so that is applies to the whole of that road.
By Article 3, Schedule 2 to the 2003 Order is amended to replace the lists of roads in the parish of St. Brelade that are subject to a 20 mph speed limit and introduce a speed limit of 20 mph on La Grande Route de St. Laurent (from La Rue du Vard to Rue de Bas) in the parish of St. Lawrence .
By Article 4, Schedule 3 to the 2003 Order is amended to replace the lists of roads in the parish of St. Brelade that are subject to a 15 mph speed limit and extend the 15 mph limit on La Rue de la Blinerie in the parish of St. Clement .

R&O.41/2018.
Petty Debts Court Rules 2018.
These Rules replace the Petty Debts Court Rules 2004.
The new Rules coincide with the increase to £30,000 approved by the States in the monetary jurisdiction of the Petty Debts Court as from 9th April 2018. They set out the procedures and practice before the Court, including new procedures for bringing small claims (not exceeding £5,000) and new provisions as to orders for costs in connection with civil proceedings. They also enable various matters to be dealt with by practice directions issued by the Magistrate with the agreement of the Bailiff .
The new Rules were made by the Superior Number of the Royal Court on 29th March 2018 and came into force on 9th April 2018.
R&O.42/2018.
Royal Court (Amendment No. 22) Rules 2018.
These Rules amend provisions in the Royal Court Rules 2004 ("the 2004 Rules") for the registration of acknowledgements of debt so as to create a hypothec (i.e. the Jersey equivalent of a mortgage). The need for the amendment arises from changes to the Loi (1880) sur la propriété foncière recently adopted by the States, which have facilitated the use of shared equity schemes.
The amendment of the 2004 Rules enables the form of acknowledgements of debt to be set out in practice directions instead of being set out in a Schedule to the 2004 Rules.
The amending Rules were made by the Superior Number of the Royal Court on 29th March 2018 and came into force on 5th April 2018.
