Introduction

Along with the Bailiwick of Guernsey (including also Alderney and Sark) and the Isle of Man, the Bailiwick of Jersey is a Crown Dependency. As noted in the Justice Committee Crown Dependencies report (2010): ‘although they are proud of their British associations, the Crown Dependencies are not part of the United Kingdom and are autonomous and self-governing, with their own, independent legal, administrative and fiscal systems.’ However, ‘the UK Government is responsible for representing them internationally and for their defence’. For more information on the Crown Dependencies, click here to see the Justice Committee Crown Dependencies report (2010).
