QUESTION TO BE ASKED OF THE PRESIDENT OF THE HARBOURS AND AIRPORT COMMITTEE ON TUESDAY, 4th NOVEMBER 2003

BY DEPUTY G.P. SOUTHERN OF ST. HELIER

Question

Would the President confirm that, when the Committee negotiated the release of Solidor V, part of the agreement was that Emeraude Lines would drop any legal action against the Committee, including the pending matter of possible legal action concerning the Committee's decision to allow Condor to carry passengers with cars on to the Jersey-St. Malo route when Emeraude Lines believed they had exclusivity on the route?

Answer

No. The agreement reached with the Administrateur Judiciaire contained no such reference. For the sake of completeness  I  can  say  that  Emeraude  had  in  August  clarified  that  no  legal  action  would  arise  from  the Committee's decision to extend Condor's ramp permit. On Wednesday 8th October 2003, the Committee received confirmation that no legal action would arise from the action taken in respect of the arrest of the vessel.
