WRITTEN QUESTION TO H.M. ATTORNEY GENERAL BY DEPUTY M.R. HIGGINS OF ST. HELIER

ANSWER TO BE TABLED ON TUESDAY 15th JANUARY 2013

Question

What is the final total cost of the Low Value Consignment Relief Court case and Jersey's share of H.M. Government's costs?

Answer

Whilst it is still not possible to give a final figure for the full cost of the LVCR judicial review proceedings, the final element, namely HMRC s claim for costs has been received within the last few days and will now be the subject of review and possible negotiation with a view to agreeing the correct amount.

Once this exercise is completed, it will be possible to provide a final figure for the total cost.
