Tynwald 15 May 2012 Captain of the Parish; in 2009 to Mr Ian Qualtrough; 2010 to Dr Brian Stowell and in 2011 to Mr Thomas William Cain Tynwald Honours Committee First Report received and recommendation approved 10. Mr Lowey to move: That the First Report of the Tynwald Honours Committee 2011-12 be received, and the following recommendation be approved – That His Honour J W Corrin CBE be awarded the Tynwald Honour on 5th July 2012. The President: Item 10, the Tynwald Honours Committee. Mr Lowey to move. Mr Lowey: Thank you, Madam President. It is rare indeed for me to move a motion in this Hon. Court with such relish and unbridled pleasure as I do today in proposing the resolution standing at Item 10 on the Order Paper. When I first entered this Hon. Court, Madam President, over 37 years ago, His Honour Jack Corrin was the then Attorney General, and I can remember the assistance and help that he gave me, the greenest of greenhorns, coming into this august Chamber. I had been presented with a Bill within two months to move through the lower House. It was the High Court of Justice Bill. I met him one day in the corridors in Government Offices and I must have had that lost look about me. Some in this Court would say I have never lost it! He said to me, ‘I believe they are blooding you well, early, Mr Lowey.’ He said, ‘Do you know what it is about?’ I said, ‘No, sir,’ – honesty is the best policy – and he said, ‘Well, come to my Chambers tomorrow afternoon and I will give you a run through what the legislative programme and introducing legislation is all about.’ He must have been a tremendous tutor, because I learned more in that one afternoon that has stood me in stead for over 37 years, and it was done selflessly and without any bidding on my part, but he could see that I needed assistance and he helped me. I have tried to impart that knowledge to Members who have come and gone in this Chamber ever since. So I have a personal knowledge of getting assistance from Jack Corrin from the first day I set foot inside this Court and throughout my career. Can I also say, I can go back, another decade on, when His Honour Jack Corrin was mentioned to me. By this time, he had moved on to become the First Deemster and Clerk of the Rolls. I was on a committee of this Court, looking into the terms and conditions of lawyers – which sat for five years, so nothing changes. I can tell you that I was so impressed with the unsolicited compliments that were being paid to His Honour for the work that he was doing in encouraging the profession to re-energise itself with young people. Remember when, 37 years ago, we had 18 lawyers for the whole of the Isle of Man. We now have well in excess of 200 and it has been the bedrock of the success of the Isle of Man’s finance industry. All done by the encouragement of His Honour Jack Corrin. I then come further on to his work for the community, and I remember being President – another decade on – of the Foundation for the Physically Disabled, and we were just about to start the workshop for the disabled. There is a golden rule in life: if you want a job well done, give it to a busy man. I offered the job to Jack Corrin to become the first Chairman of the Foundation. He accepted without a moment’s hesitation and the rest, as they say, is history. There are three little facets of this man’s life that I have seen from first-hand experience. In fact, there are so many facets to this man’s life, there are more facets to this man’s life than there is to any jewel in the late Elizabeth Taylor’s wide range of diamond rings. I had better, Madam President, get back to the script that has been written for me and I will do so, but I do say that His Honour Jack Corrin has certainly got my full support and I am sure he is regarded in the Isle of Man as a national treasure. Madam President, following the acceptance by this Hon. Court of the Report of the Select Committee and Standing Committees of Tynwald in December 2002, Tynwald was empowered to confer honours in its own right. The remit of the Tynwald Honours Committee was extended to recommend to Tynwald for the awarding of such honours to living Manx persons. Your Committee has held two meetings during the past year and dealt with a considerable amount of e-mail and other correspondence to consider the issue of awarding honours to living Manx persons. The Report that is presented before this Hon. Court reflects the result of these deliberations. It is not my intention, Madam President, to repeat all the Report contains, I am sure Hon. Members will have read it. However, I would like to explain to this Hon. Court the basic thinking behind our Report. The Tynwald Honour is the highest honour which the Isle of Man can bestow. It is awarded only to those who have made an outstanding contribution over many years to one or more areas of Manx life. Hon. Members can see the full criteria for the award in paragraph 2.3 of the Report. It does not have to be awarded every year. The first award was made in 2007 to the late Mr Norman Alexander Sayle RI; in 2008 to Mr Harvey Briggs, Tynwald 15 May 2012 Captain of the Parish; in 2009 to Mr Ian Qualtrough; 2010 to Dr Brian Stowell and in 2011 to Mr Thomas William Cain. All these people made a significant contribution to Manx life over many years in the community, the arts, the professions, charitable organisations and cultural spheres. This year, 2012 your Committee has resolved to award the Tynwald Honour to His Honour J W Corrin CBE, known affectionately to all as Jack. This opinion is based upon our consideration as to why His Honour would be a worthy recipient of the Tynwald Honour. This true Manx gentleman has made an outstanding contribution to many areas of Manx life. He has carried out the worthy work in respect of the constitution during his career and has demonstrated strong selfless commitment for many years to charitable causes. His work with the Manx Blind Welfare Society and the Manx Workshop for the Disabled demonstrates his aim of promoting the quality of life in the Island and the wellbeing of its population. Further evidence can be found in his support of the Douglas Buxton Music Trust, the Soldiers, Sailors and Airmen’s Families Association, the Manx Asthma Association, Crossroads Caring for Carers, Alcohol Advisory Council, the Manx Housing Trust, he is a past president of the Isle of Man Postgraduate Medical Centre, an honorary member of the Isle of Man Medical Society, an honorary life member of the Isle of Man Law Society and furthermore, he was appointed a trustee of the Manx Methodist Church. He is also a trustee of the Manx Foundation for the Physically Disabled and Ellan Vannin House. I could stand here and recite many more, but you have got the picture. Members were circulated, as Hon. Members will note from the Report, we recommend that the Tynwald Honour be awarded to His Honour J W Corrin CBE on Tynwald Day 2012 by Madam President in the chapel at St John’s at the Captioning Ceremony. We believe this to be a suitable venue and dignified occasion for the award to be made. In line with the terms of reference of the Tynwald Honours Committee, Tynwald Court has to approve and decide whether this honour should be bestowed on His Honour Jack Corrin. I commend him to the Court and I am sure it will meet with your unanimous support. Thank you, Madam President. The President: The Hon. Member for Douglas North, Mr Houghton. Mr Houghton: Thank you, Madam President. I have great pleasure in seconding the Hon. Member, Mr Lowey and supporting every single word that he said in support of His Honour Jack Corrin. Jack Corrin, as many people from the time that Jack Corrin was indeed a long-standing advocate in the Isle of Man, then Attorney General, then, of course, worked his way up into the judiciary to become First Deemster and Deputy Governor of this Island. Madam President, the work that I have done with His Honour Jack Corrin, in the time that I have worked with him – I have been associated in only partial areas of his great wealth of his understanding and contribution to this Island – has been quite insignificant and quite… in my circumstances, where I feel I am an active person, he puts us all to shame. He has put me to shame and I am very humbled to say that, in the amount of work that he has undertaken for this Island. It has been a pleasure to work with that gentleman and when we talk about gentlemen, there is no greater gentleman than Deemster Corrin. I have every pleasure in seconding and supporting this motion and I thank you. The President: The Hon. Member, Mr Downie. Mr Downie: Yes, thank you, Madam President. I would like to be associated with the remarks of the previous two speakers. I do not think there is anybody in this Isle of Man who is more down to earth, more approachable and more a true Manxman as Jack Corrin.

  • 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”.

  • 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.

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.
