WQ.331/2020
WRITTEN QUESTION TO H.M. ATTORNEY GENERAL
BY DEPUTY R.J. WARD OF ST. HELIER
ANSWER TO BE TABLED ON TUESDAY 22nd SEPTEMBER 2020
Question
Will H.M. Attorney General advise –
- how many cases have been identified for prosecution under the Public Health and Safety (Rented Dwellings) (Jersey) Law 2018 since it was enacted; and
- how many prosecutions have taken place within this timeframe?
Answer
In relation to part (a) the phrase identified for prosecution' has a multitude of potential interpretations. I have interpreted this as meaning the number of cases that have been brought to the attention of the Law Officers' Department and recommended for prosecution as that is within my Department's remit.
On this interpretation, the answer to both (a) and (b) of the question is none.
