WRITTEN QUESTION TO H.M. ATTORNEY GENERAL BY SENATOR S.Y. MÉZEC
QUESTION SUBMITTED ON MONDAY 5th JULY 2021 ANSWER TO BE TABLED ON MONDAY 12th JULY 2021
Question
Will H.M. Attorney General explain on what legal basis, if any, a landowner may put up signage on their land stating no public access' or no trespassing' when that land is openly accessible (i.e. not blocked off by permanent structures such as walls or fences) and might otherwise form a safe and convenient pathway for walkers?
Answer
A landowner may do anything with their land which they are not otherwise prohibited from doing as a matter of law. A landowner is free to erect signage on their land providing it complies with the Planning and Building (Jersey) Law 2002, its subordinate legislation and any other relevant laws.
