Rule of Law : the Backbone of Economic Growth
Rule of law : the backbone of economic growth (A lecture delivered by Deemster David Doyle at the Oxford Union on 17 July 2014 as part of the Small Countries Financial Management Programme) Introduction “By this Book and the Holy Contents thereof and by the wonderful Works that GOD hath miraculously wrought in Heaven above and in the Earth beneath in Six Days and Seven Nights; I David Charles Doyle do swear that I will without respect of favour or friendship, love or gain, consanguinity or affinity, envy or malice, execute the Laws of this Isle justly betwixt Our Sovereign LADY THE QUEEN and Her Subjects within this Isle, and betwixt Party and Party as indifferently as the Herring Backbone doth lie in the midst of the Fish. So help me God. And by the Contents of this Book” That was the judicial oath I first took in 2003 when I was appointed Second Deemster and again in 2010 when I was appointed First Deemster. I am sharing it with you this evening because it embodies the essentials of the rule of law. Lord Hope, the former Deputy President of the Supreme Court of the United Kingdom, was kind enough to refer to the Manx judicial oath in the chapter he contributed to Judge and Jurist Essays in Memory of Lord Rodger of Earlsferry (2013 Oxford University Press) at pages 75-76. Justice must be delivered according to the law, without surrendering to any improper influences and delivering equal treatment to everybody, “without respect of favour or friendship, love or gain, consanguinity or affinity, envy or malice”. -

Tynwald is the parliament of the Isle of Man and has unlimited, though not exclusive, legislative competence. It has three Chambers: the 24-member House of Keys, which is popularly elected; the 11-member Legislative Council, which is for the most part elected by the House of Keys; and the 35-member Tynwald Court, comprised of the first two Chambers (referred to as the “Branches of Tynwald”) sitting together. 2. The Office of the Clerk of Tynwald is an organisation of around 25 people with annual net expenditure of around £2 million. (This figure excludes Members’ emoluments.) The Office aims to deliver services of the highest quality to Tynwald and the public, while maintaining a reputation for excellence both on and off the Isle of Man. Despite Tynwald’s tricameral structure, the Office operates as a single organisation providing support to all three Chambers. 3. The Deputy Clerk of Tynwald and Clerk of the Legislative Council will play a pivotal role at the heart of the Office’s senior management team. The postholder will be at the front line in delivering procedural advice and drafting services to parliamentary Chambers and Committees, and in managing Committee inquiries. The postholder will also lead delivery and development across the full range of the Office’s services to Members and the public, exploiting technology to improve efficiency while motivating staff and engaging positively with stakeholders and customers. -

Notes on Parliaments Visited
3 Notes on parliaments visited Parliaments studied 3.1 This chapter provides a brief overview of the parliaments studied during the program in order to provide a context for the observations in Chapter 2. The notes are from the perspective of the committee’s interests and do not attempt to provide an overview of the parliaments themselves. There is obviously much more that could be said about each of the parliaments visited, but such comments would not reflect the experience provided by the study program. 3.2 As noted in paragraph 1.6 above, the committee was able to visit, observe and have discussions at the House of Commons and House of Lords in London, the Scottish Parliament in Edinburgh, the Tynwald in Douglas, (Isle of Man), the National Assembly for Wales in Cardiff and the French National Assembly in Paris. The notes on these assemblies reflect information provided during discussions as well as documents provided by our hosts. 3.3 Three main factors influenced the decision to visit the four parliaments in the United Kingdom and one in France: a desire to compare practices and procedures with other parliaments sharing Westminster origins (The House of Commons, House of Lords, Scottish Parliament and National Assembly for Wales); an interest in learning how quite different parliamentary traditions address issues relevant to all legislatures, including scrutinising the Executive, use of parliamentary committees, communicating with the 34 STUDY PROGRAM 2006 public, procedures for conducting formal votes, how parliaments adapt themselves to societal changes (the Tynwald and the French National Assembly in addition to the parliaments in Britain); and time constraints imposed by the need to slot the visit into part of the Easter break (returning in time for the Budget sittings) and the sitting patterns of other parliaments. -

And as the Manx in our blood thins out, we now welcome a new group of members, those who have come to love the Isle of Man for itself. To those members, we are delighted you have made the trip to discover what it is we find special about this unique and beautiful place. SE41 £6.60 Thank you for making the journey back.

AMANDA GRIFFIN the Manx Music Festival
EnterText 2.1 AMANDA GRIFFIN The Manx Music Festival: A Socio-Cultural Consideration Introduction At the close of the 1993 Manx Music Festival, Sir Charles Kerruish, then President of the Isle of Man parliament, Tynwald, stated: “This festival demonstrates the strength of Manx culture as it is today. Frankly it makes me feel proud to be Manx and happy in the knowledge that our cultural heritage is in such safe keeping.”1 This article is a consideration of the ways in which this music festival can be claimed to demonstrate “the strength of Manx culture as it is today.” By examining the festival from two perspectives it will consider the ways in which the festival is negotiated as a symbol of Manx culture. The first of these perspectives focuses on the meanings found within the festival itself, and the second on the place the Manx Music Festival occupies in the broader culture of the Isle of Man as a whole. Ultimately the article will show how a competitive music festival is used as symbol of both culture and identity. The empirical research for this paper took place over a number of preparatory months and culminated in an intensive six-week period of field study in the Isle of Man that included attending the 108th Manx Music Festival in April 2000. I have chosen to report my findings from this research using the present tense, but this is by Amanda Griffin: The Manx Music Festival150 EnterText 2.1 no means an attempt to place the research in some sort of historically ambivalent moment, with disregard to the passage of time. -
