to  refer  to  their  Act,  dated  30th  July  1996,  in  which  they  approved  the establishment of a Jersey Law Commission, and to appoint Mr. Malcolm John Le Boutillier as Commissioner of the Jersey Law Commission for a period of 5 years with immediate effect.

P.98/2010

REPORT

The States, by Act dated 30th July 1996, adopted a Proposition of the Legislation Committee and approved the establishment of a Jersey Law Commission.

Malcolm Le Boutillier is being appointed as an additional Commissioner. There is evidence that there is a sufficient workload that calls for an additional Commissioner to be appointed. The Jersey Law Commission anticipates that a lot of the work they will be doing in the near future will involve various aspects of land law in Jersey and Malcolm Le Boutillier is an acknowledged expert in that field.

The Chief Minister therefore nominates Mr. Malcolm Le Boutillier to be appointed to serve as Commissioner of the Jersey Law Commission for a period of 5 years with immediate effect.

Mr. Malcolm John Le Boutillier

Admitted as a Solicitor of the Royal Court of Jersey: 19th June 1975 Consultant to Le Gallais & Luce , Solicitors, Advocates & Notaries Public

Partner in Le Gallais & Luce from 1977 to 31st December 2009 Senior Partner from 1st January 2006 to 31st December 2009

President of the Chambre des Écrivains Member of the Jersey Law Society Committee

Chairman  of  LGL  Trustees  Limited,  a  company  registered  by  the  Jersey Financial Services Commission to carry on trust company business

Former Chairman of the Mental Health Review Tribunal Former Clerk to the Commissioners of Appeals (Income Tax) Trustee of Les Vaux Housing Trust

Procureur de la Vingtaine de la Ville de St. Hélier

I therefore urge States Members to fully endorse Mr. Le Boutillier's appointment as Commissioner of the Jersey Law Commission.
