Billet D’État – States of Deliberation – Wednesday 26 June 2013
Policy Council – Managing the size and make up of the Island’s Population
The long-awaited population report has now been published with 45 recommendations up for debate in the States meeting in June.
The report makes recommendations designed to secure the future of the Open Market and remove the recent uncertainty in this sector.
The Open Market will be retained but changes will be made to limit multiple occupancy properties.
A new permit system is also proposed – Residence Permits and Employment Permits.
This report and proposals by the Policy Council can be read in full on the States website:-

Submitted by Jo Bourgaize (Council Member)
The Treasury & Resources and Social Security Departments have launched a joint consultation on personal tax, pensions and benefits in Guernsey. This public consultation is part of a two year review of the way that the States collect tax from, and pay benefits to, the people of Guernsey.
The objective of the review is to ensure the long term sustainability of public finances and services, and to ensure that the systems of taxation and benefits are fair, efficient and simple.
The GPRLA Council recommend that you read this consultation document: www.gov.gg/ptr and welcome your comments. To View Consultation Doc.
The whole document is important but in particular, may I draw your attention to the following section:-
Page 8 (3.2.1) – Raising domestic tax on real property:- One of the proposals is to increase domestic TRP (Tax on Real Property) rates to five times its current level. It is stated that this would generate net revenues of approximately £20m. The bigger the property, the bigger the TRP.
Please note that the closing date for the consultation is 31 May 2013.

A plaintiff or claimant can bring an action for debt or damages before the Magistrate’s Court, as a Petty Debt, for a sum not exceeding £10,000 by instructing HM Sergeant to issue a summons.
Claims in excess of £10,000 can only be pursued before the Royal Court.
The Royal Court Rules do allow a plaintiff to issue a summons in civil proceedings before the Royal Court without instructing an Advocate.
The plaintiff must first apply to the Bailiff for leave to issue a Summons. This can be done by completing and delivering to HM Greffier the following two forms:
Application Form A; and,
Summons Form B (or, if the action is for an eviction, Summons Form B for Evictions)
A written summary of the material facts which the plaintiff will rely on in support of his or her action must be attached to the Summons Form. A Court Fee of £100 must be paid when the application is delivered to the Greffe.
The Bailiff will usually consider the application and HM Greffier will then write to the plaintiff to advise him of the Bailiff’s decision.
If the application is granted, HM Greffier will send a letter to the plaintiff enclosing:
The Application Form A, duly certified to indicate that it has been granted;
Copies of Summons Form B and Cause Form C; and,
An extract from the Royal Court (Costs and Fees) Rules, 2012
The Costs and Fees Rules are sent because the plaintiff needs to be aware of what Court fees may be charged in bringing the action. If the plaintiff is unsuccessful, he or she may also be ordered by the Royal Court to pay the costs of the defendant, including recoverable Advocate’s costs.
The plaintiff is then required to instruct HM Sheriff to issue a summons and to lodge with HM Greffier the cause, bearing HM Sergeant’s certificate of service of the summons, by close of business on the Wednesday before the Friday sitting of the Court at 9.30am.
The plaintiff is required to pay the appropriate tabling fee at the Greffe when he or she lodges the cause in accordance with the above. These fees vary according to the amount claimed. Full details of the fees can be found in the Royal Court (Costs and Fees) Rules, 2012. The minimum tabling fee is £150.
Copies of the above mentioned forms can be obtained from The Greffe.
