L'înformâtion et les sèrvices publyis pouor I'Île dé Jèrri

International House - 1st Floor, 41 The Parade, St. Helier: Lease

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there is a presumption toward publication to support of transparency and accountability, detailed information may not be published if, for example, it would constitute a breach of data protection, or disclosure would prejudice commercial interest.

Decision(s):

In accordance with Standing Order 168 (1) (a) the Minister agreed, as recommended by Jersey Property Holdings, for the Public of the Island of Jersey to enter into a new 9 year lease of 1st Floor International House to be occupied by Judicial Greffe.

Reason(s) for Decision:

The existing premises are unsuitable to the future needs of the Judicial Greffe and it is not possible to house this function in any of the existing Public owned property. Leasing the 1st Floor of International House is therefore deemed the best use of Public resources in order to allow the Judicial Greffe to continue providing the Employment Tribunal function for the benefit of the Island.

Resource Implications:

  1.       The financial implications of this decision are detailed in the accompanying report.
  2.       There are no manpower implications in respect of this decision.

Action required:

 

1. In accordance with Standing Order 168 (3) this decision must be presented to the States at least 15 working days before the contract is passed before Court or concluded.  After the expiry of 15 working days following presentation to the States the transaction may be concluded.

 

2. The Minister hereby authorised, as applicable:

 

a. under Standing Order 168 (5) the Attorney General and the Greffier to pass any contract which is required to be passed on behalf of the Public

 

b. the Director of Jersey Property Holdings to conclude any contract which is required to be concluded on behalf of the Public.
