Guernseylegalresources.gg - Guernsey Legal Resources - Guernsey Legal Resources

The Guernsey Legal Resources website is a joint initiative of the Royal Court of Guernsey and the Law Officers of the Crown. The site a range of materials, including laws of Guernsey, Alderney, Sark and the Bailiwick of Guernsey (the latter consists of the three jurisdictions of Guernsey, Alderney and Sark) and ordinances for Guernsey and Sark.

These Laws can be viewed on the Guernsey Legal Resources website. Any goods listed in the schedules to these Orders are prohibited imports into Guernsey and Alderney unless an import licence has been issued for those goods. The lists of goods controlled are subject to change and further information is available from the Guernsey Border Agency.

The Guernsey Border Agency administers control over the importation and exportation of goods, under the provisions of the Customs and Excise Law 1972, as amended, and the legislation detailed under the individual sections. These Laws can be viewed on the Guernsey Legal Resources website.

Legislation in Guernsey is prepared by the Law Officers. Amongst other things, they take cognisance of international law obligations arising from treaties and conventions and of human rights. They give legislative effect to policies which have already been approved by the States after consideration of a States Report (or occasionally a Requête).
