Advocates A Binnie (8 November) and J-A Dix (12 November) for the First Respondent.
On 8 November and 12 November 2024, the Court sat to determine an application by the Minister for a Secure Accommodation Order under Article 22(1) of the Children (Jersey) Law 2002 ("the Law"). The Minister sought an order for the maximum period of twelve weeks / three months. The Court granted the Minister's application but made an order for five weeks only, the period expiring on 17 December 2024. The application was granted on 12 November 2024 having been granted on an interim basis at the commencement of the hearing on 8 November 2024. We now give reasons for our decision.
The child, VV, whose name will be redacted from the final judgment for the purpose of publication, is fifteen years old.
VV was made subject to an Interim Care Order on 30 May 2024 on the grounds that she was beyond parental control. At the time she was ordinarily resident with two other young persons at Accommodation C where she continued to live prior to the making of the Secure Accommodation Order.
VV's parents were represented at the hearing. They are no longer in a relationship with each other and live separately with new partners.
