On 3 rd March 2021, the Court blessed the decision of the Representor to accept an offer of settlement in a personal injuries claim brought on behalf of [Redacted] ("Zac"). Zac, who is now aged 22, suffers from a severe traumatic brain injury and other related conditions as a result of a car accident in August 2010, [Redacted].
Legal proceedings were commenced by Zac against the estate of A on 20 th January 2015 acting through his then delegate, Advocate Jean Marie Renouf. The Representor was appointed delegate on 22 nd March 2019. The Act of Court is silent as to the scope of her authority as delegate, but it is clear from the application for her appointment and we confirm, for the avoidance of any doubt, that it extends to all decisions that are necessary, in accordance with the Capacity and Self-Determination (Jersey) Law 2016 ("the 2016 Capacity Law"), relating to:
(vi) the conducting of legal proceedings on behalf of Zac, including the claim for personal injuries, and
(vii) residential and immovable or share transfer estate, including its contents.
We also confirm that the Representor is entitled to remuneration out of Zac's property for acting as his delegate pursuant to Article 34(7) of the 2016 Capacity Law.
