WRITTEN QUESTION TO THE CHIEF MINISTER BY DEPUTY M.R. HIGGINS OF ST. HELIER
ANSWER TO BE TABLED ON TUESDAY 14TH JUNE 2016
Question
Would the Chief Minister advise members, using a table, of the number of legal actions that have been commenced against the States of Jersey for each year from 2008 to the present date, listing the type or nature of the litigation, the cost of defending the actions, and whether the actions were successful, unsuccessful or successfully mediated? Would he also state the amount of costs recovered each year from cases ruled in favour of the States?
Answer
It is not possible to provide the volume of information requested in the time available; in particular noting that it has been requested to cover 9 years, and that an answer would need to be considered cross- departmentally. It is also unclear as to whether the question also seeks to cover both civil and criminal matters, and there could be a level of information that is commercially sensitive and could not be disclosed. If the Deputy were able to be more specific, that would more readily enable an answer to be provided.
