WRITTEN QUESTION TO THE CHIEF MINISTER

BY THE DEPUTY OF ST. JOHN

ANSWER TO BE TABLED ON TUESDAY 20th OCTOBER 2009

Question

"Given that the Magistrate Designate has been excluded from Court duties for a considerable time, could members be told of the costs involved in this exclusion and advised when, or if, the matter will be resolved to enable him to fulfil his role?"

Answer

The additional costs incurred to date (covering the period from 1st July 2008 to 30th September 2009) as a result of the current exclusion of the Magistrate Designate from Court duties are £88,320.00.

I am unable to provide further information about an individual case at this time but can assure the Deputy that the matter is under active consideration. This is not an employment contract which is subject to the States Employment Board and the Employment (Jersey) Law, 2003.
