Item 1 23/10/17 513/56 | 3. Draft Marriage and Civil Status Law The Panel recalled that it had published a public call for evidence that was due to close on 3rd November 2017. The Panel reviewed the public submissions received to date. The Panel noted that a number of amendments to the Draft Marriage Law had been lodged as P.91/2017 Amd. and was of the view that it was unusual for so many amendments to be brought by a Minister to his own proposition. In consideration of the key points emerging from the review so far and the amendments lodged by the Chief Minister, the Panel agreed that when the draft law was debated on 14th November 2017, it would be necessary to ask for the law to be referred to it under Article 72 of the Standing Orders of the States of Jersey to allow sufficient time for it to complete its work. The Panel reviewed and approved a letter to the Chief Minister to inform him of the Panel's intentions. It was agreed to publish the letter on the scrutiny website. | SS |
