Provision as extended to Jersey

PART IREGULATION AND ENTRY INTO AND STAY IN JERSEY

General Principles

1.—(1) All those who are in this Act expressed to have the right of abode in Jersey shall be free to live in, and to come and go into and from, Jersey without let or hindrance except such as may be required under and in accordance with this Act to enable their right to be established or as may be otherwise lawfully imposed on any person.

(2) Those not having that right may live, work and settle in Jersey by permission and subject to such regulation and control of their entry into, stay in and departure from Jersey as is imposed by this Act; and indefinite leave to enter or remain in Jersey shall, by virtue of this provision, be treated as having been given under this Act to those in Jersey at its coming into force, if they are then settled there (and not exempt under this Act from the provisions relating to leave to enter or remain).

(3) Arrival in and departure from Jersey on a local journey from or to the United Kingdom, Guernsey, the Isle of Man or the Republic of Ireland shall not be subject to control under this Act, nor shall a person require leave to enter Jersey on so arriving, except in so far as any of those places is for any purpose excluded from this subsection under the powers conferred by this Act; and in this Act Jersey and those places, or such of them as are not so excluded, are collectively referred to as “the common travel area”.

(4) The rules laid down by the Minister as to the practice to be followed in the administration of this Act for regulating the entry into and stay in Jersey of persons not having the right of abode shall include provision for admitting (in such cases and subject to such restrictions as may be provided by the rules, and subject or not to conditions as to length of stay or otherwise) persons coming for the purpose of taking employment, or for purposes of study, or as visitors, or as dependants of persons lawfully in or entering Jersey.

(5) The Minister may by Order regulate the taking of employment by persons not having the right of abode who are given leave to enter Jersey.

(6) Before making an Order under subsection (5) the Minister must consult the Chief Minister.

Statement of right of abode in Jersey.

2.—(1) A person is under this Act to have the right of abode in Jersey if—

(a) he is a British citizen; or

(b) he is a Commonwealth citizen who—

(i) immediately before the commencement of the British Nationality Act 1981 was a Commonwealth citizen having the right of abode in Jersey by virtue of section 2(1)(d) or section 2(2) of this Act as then in force; and

(ii) has not ceased to be a Commonwealth citizen in the meanwhile.

(2) In relation to Commonwealth citizens who have the right of abode in Jersey by virtue of subsection (1)(b) above, this Act, except this section, section 5(2) and section 25, shall apply as if they were British citizens; and in this Act (except as aforesaid) “British citizen” shall be construed accordingly.

Deprivation of right of abode

2A.—(1) The Minister may by order remove from a specified person a right of abode in Jersey which he has under section 2(1)(b).

(2) The Minister may make an order under subsection (1) in respect of a person only if the Minister thinks that it would be conducive to the public good for the person to be excluded or removed from Jersey.

(3) An order under subsection (1) may be revoked by order of the Minister.

(4) While an order under subsection (1) has effect in relation to a person–

(a) section 2(2) shall not apply to him, and

(b) any certificate of entitlement granted to him shall have no effect.

General provisions for regulation and control.

3.—(1) Except as otherwise provided by or under this Act, where a person is not a British citizen –

(a) he shall not enter Jersey unless given leave to do so in accordance with the provisions of, or made under, this Act;

(b) he may be given leave to enter Jersey (or, when already there, leave to remain in Jersey) either for a limited or for an indefinite period;

(c) if he is given limited leave to enter or remain in Jersey, it may be given subject to all or any of the following conditions, namely—

(i) a condition restricting his work or occupation in Jersey;

(ia) a condition restricting his studies in Jersey;

(ii) a condition requiring him to maintain and accommodate himself, and any dependants of his, without recourse to public funds;

(iii) a condition requiring him to register with the police;

(iv) a condition requiring him to report to an immigration officer or the Minister; and

(v) a condition about residence.

(2) The Minister shall from time to time (and as soon as may be) present to the States statements of the rules, or of any changes in the rules, laid down by him as to the practice to be followed in the administration of this Act for regulating the entry into and stay in Jersey of persons required by this Act to have leave to enter, including any rules as to the period for which leave is to be given and the conditions to be attached in different circumstances; and section 1(4) above shall not be taken to require uniform provision to be made by the rules as regards admission of persons for a purpose or in a capacity specified in section 1(4) (and in particular, for this as well as other purposes of this Act, account may be taken of citizenship or nationality).

If a statement presented to the States under this subsection is disapproved by resolution passed at the sitting at which it is so presented or at the next following sitting of the States then the Minister shall make changes or further changes in the rules as appear to him to be required in the circumstances and the statement of those changes shall be presented to the States as soon as practicable after the said resolution was passed.

(3) In the case of a limited leave to enter or remain in Jersey,—

(a) a person’s leave may be varied, whether by restricting, enlarging or removing the limit on its duration, or by adding, varying or revoking conditions, but if the limit on its duration is removed, any conditions attached to the leave shall cease to apply; and

(b) the limitation on and any conditions attached to a person’s leave (whether imposed originally or on a variation) shall, if not superseded, apply also to any subsequent leave he may obtain after an absence from Jersey within the period limited for the duration of the earlier leave.

(4) A person’s leave to enter or remain in Jersey shall lapse on his going to a country or territory outside the common travel area (whether or not he lands there), unless within the period for which he had leave he returns to Jersey in circumstances in which he is not required to obtain leave to enter; but, if he does so return, his previous leave (and any limitation on it or conditions attached to it) shall continue to apply.

(5) A person who is not a British citizen is liable to deportation from Jersey if—

(a) the Minister deems his deportation to be conducive to the public good; or

(b) another person to whose family he belongs is or has been ordered to be deported.

(6) Without prejudice to the operation of subsection (5) above, a person who is not a British citizen shall also be liable to deportation from Jersey if, after he has attained the age of seventeen, he is convicted of an offence for which he is punishable with imprisonment and on his conviction is recommended for deportation by a court empowered by this Act to do so.

(2) It is in the public interest, and in particular in the interests of the economic well-being of Jersey, that persons who seek to enter or remain in Jersey are able to speak English or French, because persons who can speak English or French—

(a) are less of a burden on taxpayers, and

Article 8: additional considerations in cases involving foreign criminals.

117C.—(1) The deportation of foreign criminals is in the public interest.

(2) The more serious the offence committed by a foreign criminal, the greater is the public interest in deportation of the criminal.

(3) In the case of a foreign criminal (“C”) who has not been sentenced to a period of imprisonment of four years or more, the public interest requires C’s deportation unless Exception 1 or Exception 2 applies.

(4) Exception 1 applies where—

(a) C has been lawfully resident in Jersey for most of C’s life,

(b) C is socially and culturally integrated in Jersey, and

(c) there would be very significant obstacles to C’s integration into the country to which C is proposed to be deported.

(5) Exception 2 applies where C has a genuine and subsisting relationship with a qualifying partner, or a genuine and subsisting parental relationship with a qualifying child, and the effect of C’s deportation on the partner or child would be unduly harsh.

(6) In the case of a foreign criminal who has been sentenced to a period of imprisonment of at least four years, the public interest requires deportation unless there are very compelling circumstances, over and above those described in Exceptions 1 and 2.

(7) The considerations in subsections (1) to (6) are to be taken into account where a court or tribunal is considering a decision to deport a foreign criminal only to the extent that the reason for the decision was the offence or offences for which the criminal has been convicted.

SCHEDULE 11AProvisions of the Counter-Terrorism and Security Act 2015 as extended to Jersey

Provision as extended to Jersey

PART 1TEMPORARY RESTRICTIONS ON TRAVEL

SECTION 1POWERS TO SEIZE TRAVEL DOCUMENTS

Seizure of passports etc from persons suspected of involvement in terrorism.
1. Schedule 1 makes provision for the seizure and temporary retention of travel documents where a person is suspected of intending to leave Jersey in connection with terrorism-related activity.

CHAPTER 2TEMPORARY EXCLUSION FROM JERSEY

Imposition of temporary exclusion orders
Temporary exclusion orders.

2.—(1) A “temporary exclusion order” is an order which requires an individual not to return to Jersey unless –

(a) the return is in accordance with a permit to return issued by the Minister before the individual began the return, or

(b) the return is the result of the individual’s deportation to Jersey.

(2) The Minister may impose a temporary exclusion order on an individual if conditions A to E are met.

(3) Condition A is that the Minister reasonably suspects that the individual is, or has been involved in terrorism-related activity outside the British Islands.

(4) Condition B is that the Minister reasonably considers that it is necessary, for purposes connected with protecting members of the public in Jersey from a risk of terrorism, for a temporary exclusion order to be imposed on the individual.

(5) Condition C is that the Minister reasonably considers that the individual is outside the British Islands.

(6) Condition D is that the individual has the right of abode in Jersey.

(7) Condition E is that –

(a) the Royal Court gives the Minister permission under section 3, or

(b) the Minister reasonably considers that the urgency of the case requires a temporary exclusion order to be imposed without obtaining such permission.

(8) During the period that a temporary exclusion order is in force, the Minister must keep under review whether condition B is met.

Temporary exclusion orders: prior permission of the Royal Court.

3.—(1) This section applies if the Minister –

(a) makes the relevant decisions in relation to an individual, and

(b) makes an application to the Royal Court for permission to impose a temporary exclusion order on the individual.

(2) The function of the Royal Court on the application is to determine whether the relevant decisions of the Minister are obviously flawed.

(3) The Royal Court may consider the application –

(a) in the absence of the individual,

(b) without the individual having been notified of the application, and

(c) without the individual having been given an opportunity (if the individual was aware of the application) of making any representations to the Royal Court.

(4) But that does not limit the matters about which rules of court may be made.

(5) In determining the application, the Royal Court must apply the principles applicable on an application for judicial review.

(6) In a case where the Royal Court determines that any of the relevant decisions of the Minister is obviously flawed, the Royal Court may not give permission under this section.

(7) In any other case, the Royal Court must give permission under this section.

(8) Schedule 2 makes provision for references to the Royal Court etc where temporary exclusion orders are imposed in cases of urgency.

(9) Only the Minister may appeal against a determination of the Royal Court under –

(a) this section, or

(b) Schedule 2;

and such an appeal may only be made on a question of law.

(10) In this section “the relevant decisions” means the decisions that the following conditions are met –

(a) condition A;

(b) condition B;

(c) condition C;

(d) condition D.

Temporary exclusion orders: supplementary provision.

4.—(1) The Minister must give notice of the imposition of a temporary exclusion order to the individual on whom it is imposed (the “excluded individual”).

(2) Notice of the imposition of a temporary exclusion order must include an explanation of the procedure for making an application under section 6 for a permit to return.

(3) A temporary exclusion order –

(a) comes into force when notice of its imposition is given; and

(b) is in force for the period of two years (unless revoked or otherwise brought to an end earlier).

(4) The Minister may revoke a temporary exclusion order at any time.

(5) The Minister must give notice of the revocation of a temporary exclusion order to the excluded individual.

(6) If a temporary exclusion order is revoked, it ceases to be in force when notice of its revocation is given.

(7) The validity of a temporary exclusion order is not affected by the excluded individual –

(a) returning to Jersey, or

(b) departing from Jersey.

(8) The imposition of a temporary exclusion order does not prevent a further temporary exclusion order from being imposed on the excluded individual (including in a case where an order ceases to be in force at the expiry of its two year duration).

(9) At the time when a temporary exclusion order comes into force, any British passport held by the excluded individual is invalidated.

(10) During the period when a temporary exclusion order is in force, the issue of a British passport to the excluded individual while he or she is outside the British Islands is not valid.

(11) In this section “British passport” means a passport, or other document which enables or facilitates travel from one state to another (except a permit to return), that has been –

(a) issued by or for Her Majesty’s Government in the United Kingdom, and

(b) issued in respect of a person’s status as a British citizen.

Permit to return

Permit to return.

5.—(1) A “permit to return” is a document giving an individual (who is subject to a temporary exclusion order) permission to return to Jersey.

(2) The permission may be made subject to a requirement that the individual comply with conditions specified in the permit to return.

(3) The individual’s failure to comply with a specified condition has the effect of invalidating the permit to return.

(4) A permit to return must state –

(a) the time at which, or period of time during which, the individual is permitted to arrive on return to Jersey;

(b) the manner in which the individual is permitted to return to Jersey; and

(c) the place where the individual is permitted to arrive on return to Jersey.

(5) Provision made under subsection (4)(a) or (c) may, in particular, be framed by reference to the arrival in Jersey of a specific flight, sailing or other transport service.

(6) Provision made under subsection (4)(b) may, in particular, state –

(a) a route,

(b) a method of transport,

(b) that it is necessary to seize it in order to prevent it being concealed, lost, damaged, altered or destroyed.

(3) The immigration officer may seize anything which the officer finds in the course of exercising a function under the Immigration Acts if the officer has reasonable grounds for believing—

(b) that it is necessary to seize it in order to prevent the evidence being concealed, lost, altered or destroyed.

(4) The immigration officer may require any information which is stored in any electronic form and is accessible from the premises to be produced if the officer has reasonable grounds for believing—

(a) that—

(i) it is evidence in relation to an offence, or

(ii) it has been obtained in consequence of the commission of an offence, and

(b) that it is necessary to seize it in order to prevent it being concealed, lost, tampered with or destroyed.

(5) The reference in subsection (4) to information which is stored in any electronic form being produced is to such information being produced in a form—

(a) in which it can be taken away, and

(b) in which it is visible and legible or from which it can readily be produced in a visible and legible form.

(6) This section does not authorise an immigration officer to seize an item which the officer has reasonable grounds for believing is an item subject to legal privilege.

(7) Anything seized by an immigration officer under this section which relates to an immigration offence may be retained so long as is necessary in all the circumstances and in particular—

(a) may be retained, except as provided for by subsection (8)—

(i) for use as evidence at a trial for an offence, or

(b) may be retained in order to establish its lawful owner, where there are reasonable grounds for believing that it has been obtained in consequence of the commission of an offence.

(9) Section 28I of the Immigration Act 1971 (seized material: access and copying) applies to anything seized and retained under this section which relates to an immigration offence as it applies to anything seized and retained by an immigration officer under Part 3 of that Act.
