Explanatory note

This Order revokes and replaces the Civil Aviation (Investigation of Air Accidents) (Jersey) Order 1975 (S.I. 1975/1516) (“the 1975 Order”). It applies to Jersey provisions which correspond to those of the Civil Aviation (Investigation of Air Accidents and Incidents) Regulations 1996 (S.I. 1996/2798) with appropriate modifications and amendments and, in particular, gives effect to amendments made to Annex 13 of the Convention on Civil Aviation (Chicago, 1944) (“the Chicago Convention”). The principal changes from the 1975 Order are– a the expression “accident” is defined more narrowly; it no longer includes an incident (article 2(1)); b the preclusion of the removal of damaged aircraft is extended to any case where the aircraft is withdrawn from service as a result of a serious incident (article 7(1)); c the Bailiff is empowered to appoint a Chief Inspector and Inspectors of Air Accidents for Jersey from the Inspectors of Air Accidents of the Air Accidents Investigation Branch of the Department of the Environment, Transport and the Regions of the United Kingdom (article 8); d accidents and serious incidents which occur in or over Jersey must be investigated (article 8(3)); e the procedure to be followed is as determined by the Chief Inspector (article 10); f the provisions relating to review boards and to public inquiries are omitted; g where the accident or incident involves a collision between a civil aircraft and a military aircraft the investigation excludes matters affecting discipline or internal administration of Her Majesty’s armed forces or the armed forces of another country more appropriately undertaken by those forces (article 11(2)); h safety recommendations included in a report are not to create a presumption of blame or liability (article 11(5)); i the Inspector’s report of an investigation into an accident or incident must be published (article 13); j any undertaking or authority to whom a safety recommendation contained in a report is addressed must take that recommendation into consideration and advise the Harbours and Airport Committee of the States of Jersey of the measures taken or intended to be taken to implement it or the reasons why it is not to be implemented by that body (article 14); k the preclusion of the disclosure of certain records for purposes other than accident or incident investigation save where the court otherwise orders (article 18). A copy of the eighth edition of Annex 13 to the Chicago Convention can be obtained from the CAA, Printing and Publications Service, Greville House, 37 Gratton Road, Cheltenham, Gloucestershire GL50 2BN.

What Parliament said about it

Hansard was searched for this instrument by name and returned nothing. That is the ordinary outcome: an instrument laid under the negative procedure is usually never debated, and becomes law without a word said about it in either House.

How Parliament handled it

Parliament's Statutory Instruments service records procedure from May 2017 onwards, and this instrument predates it. That is a limit of the source, not a statement that nothing happened.
