“The provisions in the Reform (Sark) Law, 2008 for the retention of the Seigneur and Seneschal as unelected members of Chief Pleas did not breach art 3 of the First Protocol to the European Convention on Human Rights; the prohibition on aliens standing for election to Chief Pleas did not infringe art 3 of the First Protocol, or art 14 of the Convention, or art 19(1) of the EC Treaty; and the Seneschal’s dual role as Senior Judge in Sark and a member of Chief Pleas was not inconsistent with art 6 of the Convention.”
