WRITTEN QUESTION TO THE MINISTER FOR ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT BY DEPUTY M.R. HIGGINS OF ST. HELIER
ANSWER TO BE TABLED ON TUESDAY 15th JANUARY 2013
Question
What is the final contribution from the fulfilment industry towards the costs of the Low Value Consignment Relief Court case versus H.M. Government?
Answer
As stated in written answer 1240/5(7029) tabled on 17th July 2012 by the Attorney General, the total contribution pledged by the fulfilment industry towards the cost of the legal action came to £85,000.
Whilst it is still not possible to give a final figure for the full cost of the LVCR judicial review proceedings to the States of Jersey, the final element, namely HMRC's claim for costs has been received by the Law Officers Department within the last few days and will now be the subject of review and possible negotiation with a view to agreeing the correct amount.
Once this exercise is completed, it will be possible to provide a final figure for the total cost.
