SCHEDULE

PART I — JERSEY ADAPTATIONS AND MODIFICATIONS

1

Any reference to the county court or, in relation to civil proceedings, to a magistrate's court shall be construed, in relation to a case in which the sum in dispute does not exceed £100, as a reference to the Petty Debts Court, and, in any other case, as a reference to the Inferior Number of the Royal Court.

2

The reference in section 58(4) to a misdemeanour shall be construed as a reference to a délit.

3

All other offences shall be prosecuted summarily before the Police Court in all cases within the competence of that court, and in all other cases before the Inferior Number of the Royal Court.

4

All fines shall be paid to the officers who are by the law and practice of the Bailiwick entitled to receive the fines imposed by those courts respectively, and shall be paid by those officers to Her Majesty's Receiver General in the Bailiwick on behalf of the Crown.

5

In default of payment fines may be enforced in the same manner as fines paid in the Bailiwick to the Crown.

6

An appeal shall lie in any case which admits of an appeal under the law for the time being in force in the Bailiwick and that law shall apply to any such appeal, but the decision of the Jersey Court of Appeal or of the Royal Court sitting as the Superior Number or as the Inferior Number as the case may be shall be final.

7

Any registered society whose registered office is situated in the Bailiwick may invest any part of its funds in any loans issued by the States of Jersey.
