2019 on their expiry, and will expire after two years. It will remain an
offence to hold a public entertainment without the permission of the Bailiff,
or to contravene a condition on that permission.

BAILIWICK OF GUERNSEY
1 January–30 April 2022
A. GUERNSEY
1. LAWS
APPROVED BY THE STATES OF DELIBERATION
(a) Economic and Financial Crime Bureau and
Financial Intelligence Unit (Bailiwick of Guernsey) Law 2022
(Billet d’État No I of 2022. Approved 26.01.22)
This Law
creates the office of the Director of the Economic and Financial Crime Bureau,
who will be appointed by the Committee for Home Affairs.
The Law sets out the
functions of the office holder, which are to investigate money laundering,
terrorist financing, sanctions breaches and all other forms of economic and
financial crime, to identify and trace the proceeds of crime, to assist the Law
Officers with their economic and financial crime functions when requested, and to
exercise the powers available to police officers and customs officers under
various enactments that are relevant to economic and financial crime.
In addition, the Law
makes provision for the composition, functions, funding and oversight of the
Financial Intelligence Unit. This includes the power of the Director of the
Economic and Financial Crime Bureau to appoint the Head of the Financial
Intelligence Unit, to set the budget available to that person and to provide
that person with guidance about the strategic direction of the Financial
Intelligence Unit. The Law also includes a requirement for consultation with
the Committee for Home Affairs in these areas and a process whereby the
Committee for Home Affairs may set the budget of the Financial Intelligence
Unit or give a direction about its resources more widely in the event of any
disagreement between the Director of the Economic and Financial Crime Bureau
and the Head of the Financial Intelligence Unit on these matters.
The Law also makes a
number of consequential amendments to other enactments.
(b) Customs and Excise (General Provisions)
(Bailiwick of Guernsey) (Amendment) Law 2022
(Billet d’État No IV of 2022. Approved 16.02.22)
This Law
amends the Customs and Excise (General Provisions) (Bailiwick of Guernsey) Law
1972 (“the 1972 Law”). The amendments are designed to enable the
speedy and efficient delivery or disposal of items seized by Customs as liable
to forfeiture, in particular plant material or perishables such as food.
Sections 1 to 4 amend
para 15 of the First Schedule to the 1972 Law, to allow Her Majesty’s Procureur or Comptroller to give advance and general
approval for the delivery or disposal of goods seized as liable to forfeiture,
and to delegate the power to give such approval to an officer of Customs and
Excise.
(c) Beneficial Ownership (Miscellaneous
Amendments) (Guernsey) Law 2022
(Billet
d’État No IV of 2022. Approved
16.02.22)
This Law
amends the Beneficial Ownership of Legal Persons (Guernsey) Law 2017 (“the
Beneficial Ownership Law”) in several ways.
Section 1 contains
amendments that enlarge the functions of the Registrar of Beneficial Ownership
(“the Registrar”) to include ensuring the accuracy of information
relating to nominee relationships, specify the type of beneficial ownership
information that must be provided in the case of corporate beneficial owners,
remove the reference to a legal person having no beneficial owners, and specify
the factors that the Registrar should take into account when deciding whether
to make a resident agent disqualification order.
The amendments at s 1
also revise the definition of “relevant legal person”, introduce
prohibitions in relation to the use of bearer securities, and give the Revenue
Service the power to inspect the beneficial ownership register.
In addition, the
amendments at s 1 extend the information gathering powers of the Registrar
to deal with the assessment of risk, and to cover the situation where a legal
person is in administration or liquidation, to enable information to be
obtained from a liquidator, administrator or equivalent person.
Section
2 makes amendments to the Foundations (Guernsey) Law 2012 to ensure consistency
with other commercial legislation, in particular in respect of the resignation
of the resident agent.
Section 3 makes
amendments to the Companies (Guernsey) Law 2008 to extend the information
gathering powers of the Registrar of Companies to deal with the assessment of
risk, in line with the corresponding amendment to the Beneficial Ownership Law.
Section 4 makes
amendments to the Limited Partnerships (Guernsey) Law 1995 to ensure
consistency with other commercial legislation with regard to the functions and
powers of the Greffier.
Sections 5 and 6 deal
respectively with citation and commencement.
(d) Human
Rights (Bailiwick of Guernsey) (Amendment) Law 2022
(Billet d’État No VIII of 2022. Approved 27.04.22)
This Law
amends the Human Rights (Bailiwick of Guernsey) Law 2000 (“the Law”)
following the judgment of the European Court of Human Rights in Hammerton v UK (application No 6287/10). The
amendments allow for damages to be awarded in proceedings under the Law to
compensate a person for a judicial act done in good faith that is incompatible
with art 6 of the Convention (right to a fair trial), in circumstances where
the person is detained and would not have been detained (or detained for so
long) were it not for that incompatibility. Under s 1(2) the amendment has
retrospective effect, applying to judicial acts done before, as well as after,
the amendment comes into force.
2. ORDINANCES APPROVED BY THE STATES OF DELIBERATION
(a) Land Planning and Development (Visitor
Accommodation) (Amendment) Ordinance 2022
(Billet
d’État No I of 2022. Approved
26.01.22)
This Ordinance
amends the temporary exemption from the requirement to obtain planning
permission for a change of use of visitor accommodation to certain residential
uses, in Class 9A of the Schedule to the Land Planning and Development
(Exemptions) Ordinance 2007. The exemption was inserted in 2021 to reduce
planning restrictions on such changes of use in response to the impact on the
visitor accommodation sector of travel restrictions imposed as a result of the
coronavirus pandemic.
The amendments extend
the current dates in the exemption by a year so that it applies to a relevant
change of use up until 31 December 2022 or such later date as the Development
& Planning Authority may prescribe by Regulations. A consequential
amendment is also made to the date by which visitor accommodation premises must
revert back to their former visitor accommodation use from 31 January 2022 to
31 January 2023 or such later date as the Development & Planning Authority
may prescribe by Regulations. The regulation making powers are given to the
Development & Planning Authority to further extend the dates owing to the
uncertainty as to the further impact of coronavirus.
A consequential
amendment is also made to s 3(2) of the Land Planning and Development
(Visitor Accommodation) (Amendment etc.) Ordinance 2021 which disregards the
period during which the temporary exemption is available for the purpose of
calculating the period within which a planning compliance notice may be issued
when a change of use has originally occurred in reliance upon the exemption.
(b) Pilotage
(Amendment) Ordinance 2022
(Billet
d’État No I of 2022. Approved
26.01.22)
This Ordinance
repeals s 3(b) of the Pilotage Ordinance 1967. The effect of this is to
reduce by two the number of ordinary members required to constitute the Pilotage
Board and to remove the requirement for one of those members to be a member of
the States’ Trading Supervisory Board (“STSB”). The
requirement for the President of the Pilotage Board to be a member of the STSB
in s 3(a) of the 1967 Ordinance is retained.
(c) Public Holidays Ordinance 2022
(Billet
d’État No IV of 2022. Approved
16.02.22)
This Ordinance
modifies the effect of the Public Holidays Ordinance, 1994 (“the 1994
Ordinance”) for 2022 so as to replace the public holiday on Monday 30 May
2022 with public holidays on 2 and 3 June 2022 for the Queen’s Platinum
Jubilee celebrations. The Ordinance also makes a permanent change to the 1994
Ordinance so as to enable future such temporary variations to be made by
regulations of the Committee for Economic Development, subject to annulment by
the States of Deliberation, thus obviating the need for States’ approval
of a policy letter and of an amending Ordinance on each occasion when such a
variation is proposed.
(d) Electricity (Guernsey) Law 2001 (Amendment)
Ordinance 2022
(Billet
d’État No IV of 2022. Approved
16.02.22)
This Ordinance
amends the Electricity (Guernsey) Law 2001 (“the Electricity Law”)
to transfer powers in respect of tariffs and prices fixed by Guernsey
Electricity Limited (“GEL”) from the Guernsey Competition and
Regulatory Authority (“GCRA”) to the States’ Trading
Supervisory Board (“STSB”). This applies both in respect of the
published tariff regime, and charges applicable under special agreements
entered into under s 16 of the Electricity Law.
Subsections
(1)–(4) of s 1 amend s 5 of the Electricity Law, which is
concerned with licence conditions, to exclude GEL from the powers of GCRA to
include conditions in licences relating to pricing. The amendment at
s 1(3) in respect of publication, and the amendment to s 8 of the
Electricity Law at s 1(5), are consequential on these changes.
The amendments to
s 12 of the Electricity Law at s 1(6) provide for the STSB to have
the power to approve tariffs fixed by GEL, and to have the power to determine
any question relating to whether there is any undue preference or undue
discrimination by GEL in fixing tariffs. Section 1(7)–(9) amend s 17
of the Electricity Law, which is concerned with the determination of disputes.
The amendment at s 1(10) provides for powers in respect of fixing maximum
prices at which electricity may be resold to be transferred to the STSB.
Section 2 contains
transitional provisions. Section 2(1) and (2) provide that tariffs and prices
previously approved by GCRA will remain in force until such time as the STSB
approves any new ones. Section 2(3)–(4) provides a mechanism for making
consequential modifications to the terms of GEL’s existing GCRA licence.
The provisions empower the STSB to make regulations making the necessary
modifications to the licence conditions, but only in so far as those are
required to give effect to the above amendments and to the relevant Resolutions
of the States, and only after consultation with GCRA.
(e) Sanctions (Bailiwick of Guernsey)
(Amendment) Ordinance 2022
(Billet
d’État No IV of 2022. Approved
16.02.22)
This Law
amends the Sanctions (Bailiwick of Guernsey) Law 2018 (“the Sanctions Law”)
in three ways.
Section 1 contains
amendments to remove provisions that are now obsolete as they relate to the
pre-Brexit practice of implementing sanctions
measures enacted by the European Union. Section 1 also contains an amendment to
clarify that the prohibition on breaching sanctions measures extends to any
breaches of any directions or other instruments issued under sanctions
measures.
In addition, an
amendment made by s 1 clarifies that the provisions relating to production
of documents and offences for providing false or misleading information apply
to information provided voluntarily in the same way as to information obtained
through the exercise of information gathering powers under the Sanctions
Law.
Sections 2, 3 and 4
deal respectively with extent, citation and commencement.
(f) Sexual Offences
(Bailiwick of Guernsey) Law 2020 (Commencement) Ordinance 2022
(Billet
d’État No IV of 2022. Approved
16.02.22)
This Ordinance
brings the Sexual Offences (Bailiwick of Guernsey) Law 2020 (“the Law”)
into force on 1 March 2022, with the exception of Chapters VIII (offences
involving an abuse of a position of trust) and IX (offences by careworkers against persons with a mental disorder), as
further definitions are required to be made by Ordinance before these
provisions can be commenced. Although the Law repeals the legislation setting
out the previous sexual offences, s 18 of the Interpretation and Standard
Provisions (Bailiwick of Guernsey) Law 2016 permits the investigation,
prosecution and punishment for any offences committed prior to the commencement
of the Law. A further saving is made in relation to notification requirements
under the Criminal Justice (Sex Offenders and Miscellaneous Provisions)
(Bailiwick of Guernsey) Law 2013 and other ancillary orders.
(g) Police Force (Bailiwick of Guernsey)
(Amendment) Law 2021 (Commencement) Ordinance 2022
(Billet
d’État No VI of 2022. Approved
30.03.22)
This Ordinance
brings into force the Police Force (Bailiwick of Guernsey) (Amendment) Law 2021
on 31 March 2022.
(h) Capacity (Bailiwick of Guernsey) Law 2020
(Commencement) (Guernsey and Alderney) Ordinance 2022
(Billet
d’État No VI of 2022. Approved
30.03.22)
This Ordinance
brings into force Part 4 of the Capacity (Bailiwick of Guernsey) Law 2020,
which introduces lasting powers of attorney, and Parts 1 to 3 (except ss 17 to 20) and s 77, but solely for the purposes of
bringing into force, and the operation of, Part 4. In addition, ss 78 to 85 are brought into force for all purposes.
(i) Capacity (Lasting Powers of Attorney)
(Bailiwick of Guernsey) Ordinance 2022
(Billet
d’État No VI of 2022. Approved 30.03.22)
This Ordinance
is made under the Capacity (Bailiwick of Guernsey) Law 2020 (“the Law”)
and sets out the procedures in relation to the registration, activation,
amendment and revocation, of lasting powers of attorney. (A lasting power of
attorney (“LPA”) permits a person (P) to grant an attorney (A)
authority to make decisions in relation to health and welfare matters and/or
property and financial affairs matters on their behalf, including when P no
longer has capacity to do so.)
The procedures set out
in the Ordinance have been established with the Bailiwick context in mind and
in order to provide appropriate safeguards: P is required to apply to Her
Majesty’s Greffier in person so that an initial
capacity assessment is made on registration and a more formal capacity
assessment takes place when A considers that the LPA should be activated for
use as P no longer has capacity to make significant decisions. The Ordinance
also sets out the Royal Court’s power to suspend the operation of an LPA where
A is not acting in P’s best interests, and the powers of investigation of
the Committee for Health & Social Care, where a lack of capacity, undue
influence or actions contrary to P’s best interests are suspected.
Finally, the Ordinance makes some consequential amendments to, and corrects
some typographical errors in, the Law.
