A Law to amend the customary law of Jersey to enable the granting of permits for the exclusive possession and use of certain areas of land to which the public of Jersey has access.
Legislation
Jersey, Europe, Northern Europe
This Law grants power to local authorities to authorize the occupation of a “chose publique”, i.e. any area of land over which the public has, under the customary law of Jersey, the right to pass without let or hindrance, whether on foot or with animals or vehicles, including any highway, but excluding any park or sea beach. This right of occupation restricts the public right of access to the area of land in question.
