Jersey Market Insights
Co-written by Jersey Partners Lynne Gregory, Stephen Baker, William Redgrave and Associate Thomas McLachlan, the Jersey Market Insights chapter provides valuable insight into judgment enforcement in Jersey. Historically, enforcing judgments in Jersey has involved somewhat arcane customary law remedies, but recent years have seen modernisation and a more creditor-friendly approach. This is clearly helpful given Jersey’s status as a major offshore financial centre.
The Enforcement of Judgments in Jersey Market Insights guide provides insight into:
- The role of The Viscount’s Department in seizing and selling a judgment debtor’s moveable property and making deductions from a debtor’s salary.
- Applying for pre-judgment injunctive relief to ensure that a debtor’s assets are not dissipated and/or removed from a jurisdiction.
- The introduction of a procedure for creditor’s winding up in the Companies (Jersey) Law 1991, which expanded Jersey’s insolvency framework.
- Archaic customary law enforcement procedures such as dégrèvement and désastre.
- The use of civil contempt proceedings to enforce non-monetary judgments, such as injunctions, ancillary disclosure orders or orders for examination of a debtor.
- The registering of foreign judgments under the Judgments (Reciprocal Enforcement) (Jersey) Law 1960.
