Editing Royal assent (section)

=====Jersey and Guernsey=====
The Lieutenant Governors of the [[Bailiwick of Jersey]] and of the [[Bailiwick of Guernsey|Bailiwick and Islands of Guernsey]] do not have the authority to grant assent, nor, as proxies, as the British Crown's representative, deliver assent, to legislation emanating from the respective legislatures of these islands. The States of Jersey Law 2005 abolishes the power of the 
Lieutenant Governor to directly impose a formal veto to a resolution of the States of Jersey.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.jerseylaw.je/laws/current/Pages/16.800.aspx|title=States of Jersey Law 2005|access-date=7 April 2013|website=[[Jersey Legal Information Board]]|archive-date=26 October 2021|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20211026180153/https://www.jerseylaw.je/laws/current/Pages/16.800.aspx|url-status=live}}</ref>

The equivalent of the royal assent is formally granted or formally refused on the formal advice of the Committee of Council for the Affairs of Jersey and Guernsey in pursuance of Queen Elizabeth II's Order-in-Council of 22 February 1952. A recent example when the equivalent of royal assent was refused was in 2007, concerning reforms to the constitution of the [[Sark#Chief Pleas|Chief Pleas of Sark]].<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.supremecourt.uk/decided-cases/docs/UKSC_2009_0119_Judgment.pdf|title=R (on the application of Barclay and others) v Secretary of State for Justice and others|publisher=UK Supreme Court|access-date=25 October 2010|date=1 December 2009|archive-date=8 April 2014|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140408224928/http://www.supremecourt.uk/decided-cases/docs/UKSC_2009_0119_Judgment.pdf|url-status=dead}} See paragraph 27.</ref> (A revised version of the proposed reforms was subsequently given the equivalent of royal assent.<ref>''R (Barclay) v Secretary of State for Justice'', paragraph 30.</ref>)
