WRITTEN QUESTION TO THE MINISTER FOR SUSTAINABLE ECONOMIC

DEVELOPMENT

BY DEPUTY M.B. ANDREWS OF ST. HELIER NORTH QUESTION SUBMITTED ON MONDAY 16th JUNE 2025

ANSWER TO BE TABLED ON MONDAY 23rd JUNE 2025

Question

"Further to the adoption of P.13/2023, as amended, will the Minister provide an update on establishing a statutory requirement for Estate Agents to obtain membership of an approved independent redress scheme?"

Answer

Law drafting instructions were submitted to the Legislative Drafting Office (LDO) and shared with the Economic and International Affairs (EIA) Scrutiny Panel on 20 September 2024 to progress amendments to the Consumer Protection (Unfair Practices) (Jersey) Law 2018.

Due to the prioritisation on the Law Drafting Office's time within the broader legislative programme, a definitive completion date for the draft amendment has not yet been confirmed. The preparatory work for stakeholder engagement is complete and will commence as soon as the draft legislation is available.
