Independent review of Sark's court identifies serious faults
VERY serious failings have been identified in Sark's court by an independent review.
Published
Conducted by Roger Venne QC, it was set up to find out whether the Court of the Seneschal provided accessible justice to the island's residents and was operating as intended.
One of the key changes the report he recommends is appointing three jurats.
The review was sanctioned by Chief Pleas with the support of Guernsey's Bailiff and Royal Court.
