TYNWALD COURT. (Speeches Marked Thus (*) Have Been Reef Owl by the Speakers.) TYNWALD COURT. (Speeches marked thus (*) have been reef owl by the speakers.) DOUGLAS, TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 7, 1899. The Tynwald Court sat to-day, for the first time since the vacation, under the presidency of Sir Alured Dumbell, Deputy-Governor. Thera were present, in the Council, besides the Deputy- Governor, the Lord Bishop (Dr. Straton), Honour Sir James Gall (first. Deemster); the At- torney-General (Mr G. A. Ring); the Receiver- General (Col. Anderson); the Archdeacon (the Rev. H. S. Gill, M.A.); and. the Vicar-General (Mr. Samuel Harris.) In the Keys, there were present, the Speaker (Mr A. W. Moore), Messrs John Joughin, T. Allen, D. Maitland, T. Corlett, 'E. H. Christian, E. T. Christian, F. G. Callow, J. D. °Incas, T. Clague, J. Qualtrough, Quayle, J. C. CreIli% R. Corlett, W. J. Kormode, W. Quine, J. J. Goldsmith, J. T. Cowell, J. A. Myken, T, Mylohreest, and J. R. Kerruish. DEATH 01 D.L..cd-uSTER GILL. The Deputy-Governor said: My Lord His:lop and members of the Council Mr Speaker and gentlemen of the House of Keys. This being he first occasion upon which this Court has met s;nce the lamented death of the late Deemstor Gill, I think it is right and proper that we should take some steps to mark our appreciation of his worth and of the value of the services he rendered to the Legislature, and our :sympathy with his widow and his family in their trouble. It is not necessary for me io repeat over again I.ere what has lately been said so well and so often in other places. It is the less necessary for me to do so, because his Honour the late Deemster was known individually to every one of you. It is as a. member of the Legislature that we are now dealing with his worth: and as a member of the Legislature he was necessarily known to you all. I will, therefore, content myself with saying that you all know how unwearying, indus- trious, and able a member of this Court he was— never sparing hilymelf in any way—taking upon himself any burden or any labour the Court Death of Demnster Gil]. 2 TYNWALD COURT, November 7, l899. chose to put on him. (Hear, hear.) • oily now call upon his Lordship to move a resolM.ion on the subject. The Lord Bishop: The resolution which I hare the honour to propose runs as follows:— That his Excellency the Deputy-governor be respectfully requested to cause an appreciative and sympathetic letter to he addres€ed to Airs Gill conveying to her the sense which this Court re. tains of the late Deemster'e work, and of the value of his services to the Legislature and the people of this Island. I cannot, in moving this resolution, refrain fr,m adding a few words to those which have fallen from his Excellency's lips. I am sure there is not a single member of this Court will hesitate cue single moment to re-echo what I have said when I say that the worth of the late Deemster tisil was deeply appreciated by every member of both houses of the Legislature. You have only to look at the list which we have before us to-day--the long list of committees on which the late Deem. ster served, and I am quite sure you wi:1 agree with me when I say that not only was he a lair, painstaking, conscientious man, but he never spared himself in the public service. I am rather of opinion that he did not. spare himself as much as he ought to have done. He was always willing to serve on any committee, and nowhere in the Island will his loss be more deeply felt than this Legislature. I have spoken of his pri:':Ve worth in other places, and I am not going to enlarge upon that topic to-day. I am quite cer- tain that the Isle of Man mourns the late Deem Any in a way that is not very easy to describe. We have lost a valuable, excellent, public servant —one who, as his Excellency remarked, was a personal friend to us all—and I think the lea.d we can do is to ask his Excellency the Deputy- Governor if he will kindly write s letter whi.?ii will in some degree express our feelings of re.get on this subject. (Kens, hear.) Speaker : I beg, my Lord 13ishop, to second your motion, and to endorse what you have sa.d. So ranch has been said about our friend, the late Deemster Gill, and it has been so well said, that it is very difficult to add anything to it. We [IA know what a patriot he was—bow many and eonstant were his efforts to promote the good ,,f this Island generally, and, as regards this Court in particular, if we needed an object lesson, which we do not, to show how large a port he tock in its work, the agenda paper of to-day amply supplies it. Death of Deemster Gill. TYNWALD COUR November 7, 1899. 3 It is no exaggeration to say that, during i:i last 15 years, he was chairman of most of the committees appointed by this Court for various purposes. In this capacity, and in his capacity as chairman of the Local Government Board, he was constantly brought in contact with memi,ers of the House of Keys, who, owing to his invari- al,ie courtesy, his patience, and his sound. com- mon reuse, have ever found him a most valuable and acceptable colleague. We regarded him with respect and affection. and we unile with Excellency and the members of the Council in mourning his premature death. The vote was carried unaniinously--ihe Cowl. upstanding. CONGRATULATIONS TO TBE DEPUTY GOVERNOR. The Lord Bishop: I rise again to move thai the congratulations of this Court should be ac• corded to his Excellency Sir Attired Dumbell, oa the very honourable position in which he appears before us to-day. We all deeply regret; the pro- longed illness of Lord .Henniker, and I feel he has only taken the right step in hiking measures in order that his place may be filled. We art arriving at an important period of the year, and it is very desirable that any business which is to be attended to snould be attended to without delay in order that we may have no more trouole when we arrive at the 5th July, and I am quite satisfied that no more able businees man could lie selected for the post. of Deputy-Governor than Sir Alured Dumbell. I, therefore. beg to more that the congratulations of the Court be ad- dressed to Sir Alured Dumbell, and an expression of the hope that Lord Renniker's health may be speedily restored. The Speaker : I beg to second the motion. The motion was put by the Lord Bishop, and carried unanimously- The Deputy-Governor: My Lord, you have just referred to the stale of his Excellency's health—of course ynu will all know that that is the cause of my presiding here io-day—I think you will all be glad, as I am glad, to know 'hat his health really is improving—(hear, hear)— improving very much: and I believe it would have improved still more if it had not been for his great anxiety to return to the Island un take up his work here before be was fit to attempt it. But I had the opportunity of Congratulations to the Deputy-Governor. 4 TYNWALD COURT, November 7, 1899. perusing a written report from his very able and eminent physician who is attending him, and in which he predicts, without any shadow of doubt, his complete restoration to a proper state of health. (Rear, hear.) I, therefore, hope that my tenure of office will only be brief. 'While it lasts I can promise you I will try to do what is right. (Hear, hear.) Of course, I may say at once, I am at a considerable disadvantage, coming in without any special knowledge of the position of affairs and of what. legislation is really required. I am not in a position to state that till I have had time to study it—I am not yet a. week old. But, of course, one sees that. the time is very late now to determine what. new legislation there is to be, and, having determined that, then you will have to have Bills drafted and prepared, and then passed by both branches of the Legislature, and all that takes a very considerable amount of time. If I had-been appointed a month sooner, no doubt we could have gone into a great deal more; but I simply wish to impress upon you that at this late time of the year it would not be a wise thing to attempt too much—not as much as we otherwise might attempt. Therefore, in- stead of attempting anything like an ambitious programme, I feel that our best course now would be to modify it very considerably, and simply frame and attempt to carry through satisfactorily a very modest programme. I will enumerate later on in my remarks the position of legislation before either 'branch of the Legislature, and also What new legislation is proposed, and put yuu in possession, as far as I am able, of the various facts relating to the position of business generally. At this point, one thing occurs to my mind which is not strictly within the category we are dis- .cussing, but it has given rise to considerable uneasiness in the minds of persons interested, and has been a good deal discussed in public.

    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”.

  • David Doyle to Become Judge of the Cayman Islands' Grand
    News Release 6th April 2021 David Doyle to become Judge of the Cayman Islands’ Grand Court It is with a mixture of pride, pleasure and sadness that we announce that David Doyle CBE of Cains, the former First Deemster, is stepping down as a director of the Small Countries Financial Management Centre to take up a position as a full-time Judge of the Cayman Islands’ Grand Court, to serve in the Financial Services Division. He is due to take up his new role in the summer of 2021. After he retired as the Isle of Man’s First Deemster in 2018, David became a Director of the Small Countries Financial Management Centre in 2019 and has made a very positive contribution in that role. Pride and pleasure that David has been appointed to this very prestigious position. Sadness that it means he must stand down as a Director of the Centre. We will miss his wise advice and engaging company. In announcing Deemster Doyle’s appointment, the Cayman Islands’ Chief Justice said: “Deemster Doyle has a real commitment, passion, and desire to contribute to the development of the law and the administration of justice, specifically in the area of financial services. His extensive understanding of relevant local, regional, and international legislation coupled with his wide-ranging experiences hearing financial services matters in the Isle of Man and the Channel Islands will enhance the ability of the Grand Court to continue advance the administration of justice in the financial services sector. I am very pleased to be welcoming him as a colleague and member of our judiciary.” Caymans’ gain is the Centre’s loss, although we are sure David’s support for and commitment to the work of the Small Countries Financial Management Centre will be undiminished.

  • Deemster Corlett's Speech at His Swearing in As
    Deemster Corlett’s speech at his swearing in as First Deemster and Clerk of the Rolls 19 September 2018 Your Excellency, Lady Gozney, Your Honours, Your Worships, Mr President, Chief Minister, Mr Attorney, friends and colleagues. Firstly may I welcome you all at this rather early hour and congratulate you all for being on time! I thank His Excellency and Deemster Montgomerie for their kind words. I also welcome the opportunity which has become customary on these occasions to make some general remarks of my own. So I hope you will indulge me for a few minutes. I happened recently to come across the short address which I gave on the occasion of my swearing in as Deputy Deemster in November 2007, nearly 11 years ago. I had just left private practice and it seems that I was interested then in what it was to be a “professional” in the context of some reflections on 23 years of practice as an advocate. In my 2007 address I expressed the hope that those qualifying at the Manx Bar in the future would be able to justify the label of “professional”, and practise in a fiercely independent calling which is not part of an anonymous commercial machine. I also said this: “There is of course a key role to be played in all this by the Government. If an advocate is properly to fulfil his or her public interest role in representing those of limited means, it is vital that we have a properly funded legal aid system which provides the best possible legal advice and representation allied to reasonably competitive fees and proper eligibility criteria for the public.

    HIGH COURT OF JUSTICE OF THE ISLE OF MAN CHANCERY DIVISION GLADSTONE v BRUNNING 07 March 2006 His Honour The Deemster Doyle IN THE MATTER of proceedings before the United States Bankruptcy Court, Southern District of California (case no. 02-08176-PB Chapter 7 with Terry Linn Brunning and Susan Jennifer Brunning as Debtors) and IN THE MATTER of the Petition dated the 29 th October 2004 of Leslie Gladstone Chapter 7 Trustee 1. The hearing of the petition in this matter took place on the 21 st , 22 nd and 23 rd February 2006. I reserved judgment. I now deliver that judgment. 2. In this case a foreign trustee in bankruptcy, appointed in the United States of America in August 2002 in respect of two debtors, seeks recognition in the Isle of Man and assistance from this court in vesting in the trustee movable assets of the bankrupts within the Isle of Man. 3. The creditors in the bankruptcy still await payment. The financial institution in the Isle of Man who presently holds funds approaching US$1 million on behalf of the debtors takes a neutral stance. The funds in the Isle of Man are presently frozen pursuant to a restraint order made by the common law division of the High Court of Justice of the Isle of Man in February 2003. 4. The bankruptcy court in the United States of America made orders in July 2003 and November 2005 in an endeavour to vest in the trustee the monies in the Isle of Man. In April 2003 the common law division of the High Court of Justice of the Isle of Man made an order permitting one of the bankrupts to transfer an amount not exceeding US$15,000 to her American lawyer.

  • Doing a Good Deed: the Uniqueness of the Manx Deed
    May 2020 Doing a Good Deed: The Uniqueness of the Manx Deed. The Legal Mechanism of the Deed It was said by the English Kings Bench Division in Sharington v Strotton (1564) 1 Plow. 298, 308 that the law of England was that there were two ways of making contracts or agreements. One by words and one in writing. The court opined that because words “are oftentimes spoken by men unadvisedly and without deliberation”, a contract by words alone will not bind without valuable consideration (being a benefit gained or detriment suffered, per Lush J (at 162) in Currie v Misa (1874) LR 10 Ex 153). However, this would not be the case when an agreement was made by deed which would represent an enforceable promise made without valuable consideration due to the formality of the decision to make an accord. The court stated in Sharington v Strotton at [308]: - “For when a man passes a thing by deed, first there is the determination of the mind to do it, and upon that he causes it to be written, which is one part of deliberation, and afterwards he puts his seal to it, which is another part of deliberation, and lastly he delivers the writing as his deed, which is the consummation of his resolution; and by the delivery of the deed from him that makes it to him to whom it is made, he gives his assent to part with the thing contained in the deed to him to whom he delivers the deed, and this delivery is as a ceremony in law, signifying fully his good-will that the thing in the deed should pass from him to the other.” Contracts by deed therefore played a role in the common law to protect the party or parties from imprudent commitments.
