Appearances of States Members in the Petty Debts Court (FOI)

Produced by the Freedom of Information office
Authored by Government of Jersey and published on 17 August 2022.
Prepared internally, no external costs.

​Request

With regard to the current 49 States Members elected on the 22nd of June 2002.

Please supply basic detail of appearances within the Petty Debts Court by any these States Members over the past 4 years? 

Response

Any information held in response to this request is absolutely exempt from disclosure in response to a FOI request because it is personal information which is absolutely exempt under Article 25 of the Freedom of Information (Jersey) Law 2011, and we therefore decline to provide anything in response to this request. The details of any appearances at the Petty Debts Court would be the personal data of the individual States Members. There was no requirement for these details to be disclosed under the Elections (Jersey) Law 2002 and we do not have the consent of the States Members for disclosure under the FOI Law.

The table and results of Petty Debts Court hearings are published on www.gov.je and once they are removed from that page may be inspected in person at the Magistrate’s Court by arrangement with the Magistrate’s Court Greffe.

Article applied

Article 25 - Personal information

(1) Information is absolutely exempt information if it constitutes personal data of which the applicant is the data subject as defined in the Data Protection (Jersey) Law 2005.

(2) Information is absolutely exempt information if –

(a) it constitutes personal data of which the applicant is not the data subject as defined in the Data Protection (Jersey) Law 2005; and

(b) its supply to a member of the public would contravene any of the data protection principles, as defined in that Law.

3)     In determining for the purposes of this Article whether the lawfulness principle in Article 8(1)(a) of the Data Protection (Jersey) Law 2018 would be contravened by the disclosure of information, paragraph 5(1) of Schedule 2 to that Law (legitimate interests) is to be read as if sub-paragraph (b) (which disapplies the provision where the controller is a public authority) were omitted.
