Rent Control Tribunal: Nominations: Amendment

A formal published “Ministerial Decision” is required as a record of the decision of a Minister (or an Assistant Minister where they have delegated authority) as they exercise their responsibilities and powers.

Ministers are elected by the States Assembly and have legal responsibilities and powers as “corporation sole” under the States of Jersey Law 2005 by virtue of their office and in their areas of responsibility, including entering into agreements, and under any legislation conferring on them powers.

An accurate record of “Ministerial Decisions” is vital to effective governance, including:

  • demonstrating that good governance, and clear lines of accountability and authority, are in place around decisions-making – including the reasons and basis on which a decision is made, and the action required to implement a decision

  • providing a record of decisions and actions that will be available for examination by States Members, and Panels and Committees of the States Assembly; the public, organisations, and the media; and as a historical record and point of reference for the conduct of public affairs

Ministers are individually accountable to the States Assembly, including for the actions of the departments and agencies which discharge their responsibilities.

The Freedom of Information Law (Jersey) Law 2011 is used as a guide when determining what information is be published. While there is a presumption toward publication to support of transparency and accountability, detailed information may not be published if, for example, it would constitute a breach of data protection, or disclosure would prejudice commercial interest.

A decision made 30 December 2022:

Decision Reference:  MD-HC-2022-821

Public

Subject: Rent Control Tribunal: nominations

 

Report Title:

Decision(s):

​​The Minister decided to request the Greffier of the States to arrange for an Amendment to P.106/2022 'Rent Control Tribunal:  Nomination of Chair and Members' to be lodged “au Greffe”​

Reason for Decision(s):

The Minister for Housing and Communities is amending his Proposition to nominate members for the Rent Control Tribunal in light of one nominee’s withdrawal. The Minister for Housing and Communities is taking this opportunity to respond to the reference back during the States Assembly on 24 November 2022, and hopes that the information will clarify any uncertainty. Having provided these answers, which have been produced in collaboration with the Attorney General, the Minister would like to call on the Assembly to avoid delaying the establishment of this much-needed statutory mechanism to protect tenants.

Resource Implications: There are no additional considerations in respect of the Amendment.
