3 unusual facts about Law of Jersey


Law of Jersey

All courts in Jersey are required under Article 6 of the European Convention on Human Rights to be 'independent and impartial'.

In recent years, a former State's member Mr Stuart Syvret has argued in legal proceedings in England and Jersey that all members of the Jersey judiciary lack the appearance of independence and impartiality.

The boundaries of the Parishes, the existence of the office of Bailiff and various rules relating to possession of land and inheritance fall into this category.
