REPORT AND CONCLUSIONS 1. It was resolved on 15th December 2015: That the Emoluments Committee should look again at the question of remuneration for committee roles. 2. We decided to consult all Tynwald Members about this matter. The attached consultation paper was issued on 22nd April 2016 and responses were requested by 27th May 2016.1 Two responses were received and these are also attached.2 We conclude that the introduction of remuneration for scrutiny roles is not seen as an urgent priority by the majority of current Tynwald Members and that consensus is unlikely to be achieved before the Dissolution of the House of Keys in August 2016. We conclude that this matter will merit further consideration by our successors after the 2016 General Election. 1 Appendix 1 2 Appendices 2 and 3 1 S C Rodan C R Robertshaw R H Quayle D J Quirk D M Anderson D C Cretney J R Turner 2 WRITTEN EVIDENCE 3 4 Appendix 1: Standing Committee of Tynwald on Emoluments Remuneration for scrutiny roles – Consultation paper dated 22nd April 2016 5 6 Standing Committee of Tynwald on Emoluments Remuneration for scrutiny roles Paper dated 22nd April 2016 Introduction 1. It was resolved on 15th December 2015 “That the Emoluments Committee should look again at the question of remuneration for committee roles.” This question was last debated in Tynwald on 17th May 2011 and on 14th July 2011. Since then the system of Policy Review Committees has been implemented. The Committee would now like to give all Members of Tynwald the opportunity to submit views in the light of their experience of the Committee system since 2011 the General Election. Submissions should be sent to the Clerk of the Committee, Mr Jonathan King, by Friday 27th May 2016. Background 2. In June 2010 a Select Committee was established to consider setting up a system of Standing Committees relating to the work of Government Departments. The Select Committee’s Report (PP 167/10) was produced in December 2010.1 This report was debated on 18th January 2011.2 At that debate it was resolved: That the question of the specific levels of remuneration for Members’ scrutiny roles should be referred to the Standing Committee of Tynwald on Emoluments, who shall take into consideration the basis of the remuneration for such committee membership as applies within other parliamentary systems of the British Isles, and to set out the basis of such remunerations, and to make recommendations taking into account the following principles: i. There should be no overall increase in expenditure on Members’ remuneration and any changes should be made within the parameters of overall cost neutrality. ii. If at some time in the future the chairman of the PAC or of a “policy review Committee” were to be dedicated full time to this role in the interests of showing the importance of scrutiny, then for the same reason such a chairman should not be worse off financially than he or she would have been, had he or she served as a member in a government department. iii. The importance of Committee scrutiny is such as to warrant a member of the PAC or of a “policy review Committee” other than the chairman also receiving some enhancement in respect of that scrutiny role. iv. There need be no guarantee that every Member should in all circumstances have either a remunerated executive role or a remunerated scrutiny role. 1 http://www.tynwald.org.im/business/pp/Reports/2010-PP-0167.pdf 2 http://www.tynwald.org.im/business/OPIndexHansard0811/5507.pdf 1 7 The thinking of the Emoluments Committee in May 2011 3. We reported on this issue in our First Report for 2010/2011 (PP 0076/11), which was produced in May 2011.3 The Report included as its Annex 1 the resolution of January 2011 part of which is quoted above. After describing the existing system of remuneration for executive and presiding officer roles, and after looking at other jurisdictions, the Report said: SPECIFIC LEVELS OF REMUNERATION FOR SCRUTINY ROLES 8. In agreeing to the resolution at Annex 1, Tynwald has accepted in principle that the importance of scrutiny is such as to warrant both chairmen and members of the PAC and policy review Committees receiving some enhancement. 9. Point 3(ii) of the resolution makes it clear that, while it should continue to be open to elected Members of Tynwald to serve simultaneously in an executive role and on scrutiny Committees, a chairman of such a committee should be no worse off than a member of a Department if circumstances arose in which he was dedicated full-time to chairing the committee. Under the current system this means that the rate for a chairmanship of one of these committees should be at least 30%. 10. Point 3(i) invites us to consider what enhancement should be available to a member of a scrutiny committee who is not the chairman. We think it is self-evident that the rate for an “ordinary member” of a scrutiny committee should be less than the rate for a chairman. We have considered whether the rate for membership of a scrutiny committee should be 10%, by analogy with the rate for chairing a Statutory Board. We do not think, however, that this would adequately reflect the importance which the resolution places on scrutiny roles. 11. Our preferred model would be for the remuneration to be set at 40% for the chairman of a scrutiny committee and 30% for the other members. If a member of a committee is also a member of a Department he should not receive the 30% twice; but if he is not a member of a Department he should receive the 30% in recognition of his committee role. Similarly if a committee chairman is already receiving 40%, for example if he is a Statutory Board chairman as well as a member of the committee, he should not receive any additional enhancement beyond that; but if he does not already have 40% from other appointments his pay should be made up to 40% in recognition of his role as committee chairman. Recommendation 1 That Tynwald accepts that in principle: (a) a member of the PAC or a “policy review committee” who is not in receipt of an enhancement of 30% or more by virtue of any other office held should receive an enhancement of 30% in recognition of his scrutiny role; and 3 http://www.tynwald.org.im/business/pp/Reports/2011-PP-0076.pdf 2 8 (b) a chairman of such a committee who is not entitled to enhancements totalling 40% or more by virtue of any other office or offices held should be entitled to a total enhancement of 40% in recognition of his scrutiny chairmanship. COST NEUTRALITY 12. Point 3(i) of the resolution at Annex 1 calls upon us to take into account the principle that there should be no overall increase in expenditure on Members’ remuneration and any changes should be made within the parameters of overall cost neutrality. 13. We have indicated above that we consider the budgetary “baseline” for this calculation to be the sum currently available in principle for additional sums, as set out at Annex 2. It is clear that if we were to introduce the system recommended above in full there could be, potentially, an increase in overall expenditure, because we would be creating four new posts remunerated at 40%.

    Planning and Building Control Division Initial Summary of Responses Draft Planning Policy Statement Planning and the Economy Initial Summary of Responses - Draft PPS Planning and the Economy Introduction 1. The Draft Planning Policy Statement Planning and the Economy was published in February 2012 as a means to help clarify the policies contained within the Isle of Man Strategic Plan. The role of the Draft PPS is to ensure that there is understanding between all those involved in the planning process as to how the economic benefits of a proposed development will be taken into account in the assessment of planning applications. These benefits will be weighed up against all other material considerations in line with the existing planning policy framework. As such, the Draft PPS does not represent a new policy approach, it merely clarifies existing policy and objectives of the Strategic Plan. 2. This initial summary of responses document provides a brief overview of the consultation process and analysis of all responses received during the consultation exercise. In line with the Isle of Man Government Code of Practice on Consultation (2008; “the Code”), this initial summary has been produced within three months of the closing date of the consultation (consultation closed 4 th May 2012). 3. The Draft PPS was introduced by Minister Cretney, Minister for Infrastructure on 21 st February 2012 in the budget speech in Tynwald, where he stated that he was “publishing a Draft Planning Policy Statement setting out how planning will take into account the issues I have just highlighted in the determination of planning applications and the interpretation of the Strategic Plan” (full speech available at - http://www.tynwald.org.im/business/hansard/Pages/ByYear20002020.aspx ).

  • Open Justice
    NOTES IN RESPECT OF TALKS TO TRAINEE MANX ADVOCATES [27 August 2019] OPEN JUSTICE OPEN JUSTICE “Publicity is the very soul of justice. It is the keenest spur to exertion and the surest of all guards against improbity” (Jeremy Bentham). 1. The Appeal Division (Judge of Appeal Storey and Deemster Doyle) in Reid v McNicholas (judgment [2] 24 July 2018) referred to the important principles of open justice and stressed the need for courts to be vigilant when the parties consent to derogations for open justice. The Appeal Division referred to Rules 9.2(1), (2) and (3) and stated: “25. Such procedural rules must, of course, be read in light of the leading judgments in this important area of the law. 26. The local jurisprudence is set out in numerous judgments including this court's judgment (differently constituted) in Taylor v Attorney General (No 2) 2012 MLR 199, Deemster Doyle's judgments in Harding and Re Delphi Trust 2014 MLR 51, Deemster Corlett's judgment in Gubay v Willers 2009/11 (J 1734: 3 December 2015) and this court's judgment in Attorney General v Kelly 2017/12 (24 November 2017). 27. The principle of open justice is well established in Manx law. An Act of Tynwald in 1731 referred to the opportunity to be present "in open Court". Deemster Farrant in Myers 1921-51 MLR 331 at page 337 stressed, in the context of apparent bias, that "justice must not only be done but must be seen to be done" (lines 14 – 15). In the 21st century Deemster Kerruish in Byrne 2005-06 MLR N14 (30 March 2006) at paragraph [14] put it succinctly when he stated: "The general rule is that all hearings ought to be in public." 28.

Main Terms and Conditions of Appointment as Deemster ................................. 8 2 1. Advertisement Appointment of Deemster The Isle of Man prides itself on its values of democracy, good government and the importance of the rule of law. The judiciary is a key component of delivering these values and to the Island’s international reputation. Applications are invited from on and off-Island candidates for the position of Deemster. This is a Crown appointment made by His Excellency the Lieutenant Governor pursuant to section 3B (1) of the High Court Act 1991. This is a full time role, however consideration will be given to job share partnerships (which would not necessarily require full-time residence on the Isle of Man) and if interested you should discuss this with the First Deemster. The Deemster will be particularly responsible for presiding over the Court of General Gaol Delivery (which is broadly equivalent to the Crown Court in England and Wales). The Deemster will also be responsible for administration, ceremonial and other duties assigned by the First Deemster. The Deemster will hold office at the pleasure of His Excellency. The appointment will be on the advice of a Selection Panel. Candidates for this position must meet the following criteria:- • A qualified advocate, barrister or solicitor of at least 10 years standing. • Relevant judicial experience either in the Isle of Man or elsewhere within the British Isles for a minimum of 3 years (full or part time) prior to taking up office.
