The Jersey Legal Information Board supports and participates in the free access to law movement.
The Vision
For Jersey’s legal system to be, and be recognised as, the global best for a small jurisdiction.
The Strategy
The Jersey Legal Information Board (JLIB) has created a strategy setting the direction of Jersey's Legal Information Systems for the next five years. In order to achieve its vision, the approach of the Board is a progressive and forward-looking one, exploiting emerging technologies. However, the Board will be sensitive to the way in which Jersey's legal processes have developed in the light of the Island's unique historical and social status.
Elements of the Strategy:
· To make the law and legal processes more accessible
· To promote the better co-ordination of Jersey’s justice system
· To support Jersey's position as a leading business centre

This Law abolishes any rule of customary law affirming that a contract passed before the Royal Court for the transfer of immovable property may be annulled, at the instance of the heirs or devisees, as the case may be, of the transferor, if he or she dies within 40 days of the passing of the contract.
Customary Law (Choses Publiques) (Jersey) Law 1993.
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.
