Law (1885)
regarding the administration of the public markets
A LAW regarding the
administration and management of the Public Markets
THE STATES have decided to repeal the Regulations
presently governing the Public Markets of this Island, with the exception of
the Order in Council of 10th March 1802, and to substitute therefor
the following Articles to have force of Law, subject to the sanction of her
Most Excellent Majesty in Council –
1
The management, administration and
policing of the Markets are under the jurisdiction of the States, and shall be
undertaken in accordance with the orders and under the directions of this
Assembly, by the Minister for Infrastructure.
2
The States or the Minister for Infrastructure,
under delegation from the States, shall name one or more Inspectors whose duty
it shall be to secure the observance of Regulations which may from time to time
be enacted for the benefit of the said Markets and this under the direction of
the said Minister. The Centeniers of the Parish of St Helier shall likewise be charged
with overseeing and maintaining law and order within the said Markets.
3
The States may enact Regulations for
the good order, policing and upkeep of the Markets, and may, as in the past,
lease shops, stalls and sites within the Markets, in order to meet the costs
involved in the administration and upkeep of the Markets.
The States are similarly authorized to
enact Regulations for the management and maintenance of the Public Abattoirs,
as well as for regulating the sale of butchers’ meat, whether in the
Markets or elsewhere.
Regulations made under this Article
shall remain in force until repealed or amended.
4
Fines imposed under Regulations made
from time to time pursuant to Article 3 shall be applied for the benefit of His
Majesty.
