WRITTEN QUESTION TO H.M. ATTORNEY GENERAL
BY DEPUTY M.R. HIGGINS OF ST. HELIER ANSWER TO BE TABLED ON TUESDAY 11th SEPTEMBER 2012
Question
Further to his response on 26th June 2012, will H.M. Attorney General advise the Assembly whether the full costs of the recent failed Low Value Consignment Relief case are now known, and if so, will he set out the costs to Members breaking them down into their various elements and explain how the £85,000 contribution towards these costs, provided by members of the Fulfilment Industry, was determined?
Answer
It is still not possible to give a figure for the full costs of the LVCR judicial review proceedings because HMRC's final bill of costs has not yet been submitted.
Detail on costs breakdown between Jersey's solicitors and both leading and junior Counsel, as well as total hours claimed, was provided in the Attorney General's answers to Written Questions 6947 and 7029.
The Attorney General had no involvement in the discussions relating to contributions that might be made by members of the fulfilment industry. Contributions from industry were co-ordinated by the Economic Development Department.
