REPORT
Article 3 of the Dwelling Houses (Rent Control) (Jersey) Law 1946 provides for the States to appoint a Rent Control Tribunal consisting of a Chairman and not less than 3, nor more than 4 other Members. The Law also provides that the Chairman and 2 other Members constitute a quorum for any sitting of the Tribunal.
Sadly the Chairman, Mr. Terry Lavery, who had served for a number of years, passed away late last year. In addition, another longstanding member Mr. Christopher Sheehan has recently retired. Both gave a long and creditable service to the Tribunal.
Existing Tribunal Members, Mr. Ronald Peter Welling and Mrs. Mary Gaiger, have agreed to allow their names to be put forward for nomination for a further term.
Following a public advertisement and interview process, the Minister has pleasure in nominating the persons named below to serve as additional Members of the Tribunal.
