Jurats' Fees - Proposed Increases.

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While there is a presumption toward publication to support of transparency and accountability, detailed information may not be published if, for example, it would constitute a breach of data protection, or disclosure would prejudice commercial interest.

(name and job title)

Jeremy Harris, Policy Adviser

Decision(s):

To approve draft Regulations, entitled the draft Règlements (2000-) sur le Tarif des Honoraires des Jures-Justiciers, the effect of which would be to make changes to the tariff of fees payable to Jurats; and

To agree that the draft Regulations should be lodged ‘au Greffe’ for consideration by the States.

Reason(s) for decision:

There are 14 fees for different categories of work that are undertaken by Jurats. Of these 14 fees, 2 were last increased in 1980, 9 were last increased in 1989 and 3 were last increased in 1996. Consequently it is considered appropriate that increases should be made to the tariff of fees to reflect the general increase in the cost of living since the last changes.

Action required:

Mr. Harris will contact the States Greffe to arrange for the draft Regulations to be lodged ‘au Greffe’ on or before 13th February 2007 for consideration by the States on 27th March 2007.

Signature:

Chief Minister

Date of Decision:

6 February 2007
