Request
I would like to request under the Freedom of Information (Jersey) Law 2011 copies of the Letters Patent (or equivalent Royal Warrants or similar) appointing
- the Lieutenant-Governor
- the Bailiff
- the Deputy Bailiff
- the Attorney-General (*)
- the Solicitor-General
(*) Unless I've misinterpreted things, it appears that there is currently no A-G and the
S-G is exercising the role (or similar). Whereas in the cases of the other officers I would request the Patent appointing the current incumbent, in the case of a vacant office I would request the Patent appointing the previous one.
Response
relating to the most recent appointment to each post are available at the following link:
Letters patent
Note at the time of the request the new Attorney-General had not been sworn in therefore we include the Letters for the previous appointment.
