9 Deputy S.M. Ahier of St. Helier of the Chief Minister regarding the Appointed Day
Act for the Access to Justice (Jersey) Law 2019. (OQ.134/2021):
Will the Chief Minister update the Assembly on when an Appointed Day Act for the Access to Justice (Jersey) Law 2019 will be lodged; and will he advise what consultation, if any, there will be thereafter and for how long any such consultation period will last?
Senator J.A.N. Le Fondré (The Chief Minister):
The Appointed Day Act should be with Members later today for debate in July. If it is approved by the Assembly, it is the intention that there will be a period of public consultation. I believe it is presently intended for approximately 8 weeks and that is intended to begin at the end of July.
3.9.1 Deputy S.M. Ahier :
Has the Chief Minister conducted any informal consultations with key stakeholders during the past 2 months, which he said he would in a letter to the Legal Aid Review Panel on 23rd April? What, if any, information did he garner from these discussions?
Senator J.A.N. Le Fondré:
There has been some informal consultation and some responses have been received from relevant bodies. I do not have that information to hand today, immediately to hand. I will update the Deputy in due course. But we have had some informal responses from relevant key stakeholders.
