Hansard Business Search Template 1. SWEARING IN OF MEMBERS The procession into the Chamber consisted of the Seneschal, the Chief Registrar, the Secretary of the House of Keys, His Honour the Second Deemster, His Honour the First Deemster and Clerk of the Rolls. The First Deemster: Please do sit down. Hon. Members of the House of Keys, ladies and gentlemen, we are assembled here this morning for the administration of the requisite oaths or affirmations that need to be taken by Members of the House of Keys. I am David Doyle, Her Majesty’s First Deemster and Clerk of the Rolls, and it is my great privilege and pleasure to be presiding over this important ceremony this morning. I am accompanied by His Honour the Second Deemster, Andrew Corlett; the Secretary of the House of Keys, Mr Roger Phillips; and the Chief Registrar, Mr Stephen Cregeen. Section 8 of the Representation of the People Act 1995 provides that no Member of the Keys shall be permitted to sit and vote in the Keys until he or she has taken and subscribed the oaths required by law. Those oaths are the Oath of Allegiance to Her Majesty the Queen and the Oath of a Member of the House of Keys. The procedure which will be followed is that the Secretary of the House will proceed to call Members by constituency in turn, commencing in alphabetical order with Arbory, Castletown and Malew and ending with Rushen. A Messenger will escort the Members from their seats and back again once the formalities have been duly completed. Once the Member’s Certificate of Election has been checked by the Secretary of the House he will announce, where appropriate, that the Certificate of Election is in order. In respect of the Oath of Allegiance to the Queen, this will be taken by each Member individually. The Member takes the testament in his or her hand and reads the oath on the card provided. The Deemster will then administer the House of Keys Oath of Office to the two Members of the constituency. The Members hold the testament or holy book in their hand but no response is made. Members may, if they prefer, take an affirmation rather than an oath. For those Members taking an affirmation, of course, the testament or holy book will not be used. Deemster Corlett will assist me in the administration of the oaths and the affirmations. I intend to deal with the first six constituencies and Deemster Corlett will deal with the second six constituencies. Each Member will be required to sign the Liber Juramentorum, under the supervision of the Chief Registrar and will then return to his or her seat. When all Members have signed the Liber Juramentorum Deemster Corlett and I will then attest the signatures of the Members. That is the procedure for this morning’s ceremony. I now ask the Secretary of the House of Keys to call forward the Members by constituency. The Secretary: Thank you, Your Honour. As the First Deemster has said I shall now call the Members to be sworn in alphabetical order of constituency starting on the left hand and going round the Chamber. So I first call the Members for Arbory, Castletown and Malew, Mr Jason Moorhouse and Mr Graham Cregeen to be taken forward. The Secretary called the Members of the House of Keys forward by constituency. The First and Second Deemsters administered the oaths to the Members in the following order: Mr J R Moorhouse and Mr G D Cregeen (Arbory, Castletown and Malew); Mr A L Cannan and Mr T S Baker (Ayre and Michael); Mr C C Thomas and Mrs C A Corlett (Douglas Central); Miss C L Bettison and Mr C R Robertshaw (Douglas East); Mr D J Ashford and Mr G R Peake House of Keys 27/09/2016 (Douglas North); Mrs K J Beecroft and Mr W M Malarkey (Douglas South); Mr M J Perkins and Mrs D H P Caine (Garff); Mr R K Harmer and Mr G G Boot (Glenfaba and Peel); Mr W C Shimmins and Hon. R H Quayle (Middle); Mr R E Callister and Ms J M Edge (Onchan); Dr A J Allinson and Mr L L Hooper (Ramsey); Hon. J P Watterson and Hon. L D Skelly (Rushen). The texts of each oath and affirmation were as follows: Oath of Allegiance I, . , do swear by Almighty God that I will be faithful and bear true allegiance to Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth the Second, Her Heirs and Successors. So help me God. Affirmation of Allegiance I ….. do solemnly, sincerely and truly affirm and declare that I will be faithful and bear true allegiance to Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth the Second, Her Heirs and Successors. Oath administered to elected Members of the House of Keys Her Majesty’s Counsel, your fellows’ and your own, you shall not reveal; you shall use your best endeavours to maintain the ancient laws and customs of this Isle. You shall justly and truly deliver your opinion and do right in all matters which shall be put unto you without favour or affection, affinity or consanguinity, love or fear, reward or gain, or for any hope thereof, but in all things you shall deal uprightly and justly and do wrong to no man. So help you God and by the contents of this book. Affirmation administered to elected Members of the House of Keys You do solemnly, sincerely and truly affirm and declare that Her Majesty’s Counsel, your fellows’ and your own you shall not reveal; you shall use your best endeavours to maintain the ancient laws and customs of this Isle. You shall justly and truly deliver your opinion and do right in all matters which shall be put unto you without favour or affection, affinity or consanguinity, love or fear, reward or gain, or for any hope thereof, but in all things you shall deal uprightly and justly and do wrong to no man. The First Deemster: Hon. Members, the oaths and affirmations have been taken and administered in front of myself and Deemster Corlett. We are satisfied that each Member has taken the necessary Oath or Affirmation of Allegiance to Her Majesty the Queen, and the necessary Oath or Affirmation of a Member of the House of Keys. Each Member has signed the Liber Juramentorum and we will, in a moment, attest those signatures. The Deemsters inspected the signatures. The First Deemster: Hon. Members, we have now completed the formal parts of this ceremony. You have all made a solemn promise to use your best endeavours to maintain the ancient laws and customs of the Island and do right in all matters. In all things you shall deal uprightly and justly. In all your activities you will no doubt be conscious of the need to observe the rule of law. We must all respect the separation of powers between the legislature, the executive and the judiciary. That vital separation is an essential particular of our constitution. Last Thursday, the people of the Island placed their trust and confidence in you. During your term of office you will be required to consider many matters and make difficult decisions upon which the future well-being and reputation of our Island and our people will depend. It is a heavy responsibility but one which all of you have willingly chosen to undertake. I wish you well in discharging your onerous duties. House of Keys 27/09/2016 We should never take our cherished democratic system for granted. We are all duty-bound to uphold fundamental democratic values in the best interests of the future of this wonderful Island. On behalf of the judiciary I congratulate each and every one of you on your election to the House of Keys. The Secretary of the House of Keys will now make an announcement in respect of the first sitting of the House. The Secretary: Thank you, your Honour. Hon. Members, in accordance with the precept issued by His Excellency the Lieutenant Governor, the first sitting of the House after the General Election will be this afternoon at 2.30 p.m. The Order Paper for this afternoon’s sitting is on your desks. I would ask that immediately after the departure of their Honours the Deemsters, you all gather in the Keys lobby, which is to my right, to have an official photograph of the new House. Thank you. The First Deemster: Thank you, Hon. Members. That now concludes the proceedings. I thank you all for your attendance today. The Deemsters and the other officials will now depart. The House adjourned at 12.08 p.m. and resumed its sitting at 2.30 p.m. House of Keys 27/09/2016 .

  • 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.

    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.
