  • England and the Isle of Man
    When Is a Colony Not a Colony? England and The Isle of Man Augur Pearce* Abstract Manx emancipation from English tutelage still falls short of independence. Island courts' and constitutionalists' efforts to reconcile the continuing role of Crown and Parliament with insular aspirations are typified by dicta of the Staff of Government Division in Crookall v Isle of Man HarbourBoard and Re CB Radio Distributors. These cases suggest the Queen legislates for the Island as Lord of Man, successor to its former rulers; whether with Parliament or with Tynwald is secondary, so an Act of either body can repeal inconsistent Acts of the other. This article contests the claim of continuity between former rulers and the Kings of England, also the assumption that there can be no hierarchy between different legislative acts of the one ruler. This article argues that the law considers Man conquered by English arms in 1399, a continuity breach which gave King and Parliament un- fettered law-making power as explained in Calvin's Case and Campbell v Hall. Centuries of government by royal tenants-in-chief do not affect the position after the surrender of their estate. Royal continuance of the former Lords' concessions to Tynwald, and Man's exclusion from the Colonial Laws Validity Act 1865, are both explicable on policy rather than constitutional grounds. I. The Limits to Manx Emancipation The past 150 years have seen a steady emancipation of the Isle of Man from English tutelage. But there remain significant areas in which that emancipation falls short of independence. The United Kingdom Parliament remains (in succession to the Par- liament of England) the Island's supreme legislature.

All images cropped. 4 Legislating for Brexit: Statutory Instruments implementing EU law Summary According to data on the EU’s Eur-Lex database, there are at present around 19,000 EU legislative acts in force. These are mainly directives, regulations, decisions and external agreements, but they include a range of other instruments. As Commons Briefing Paper Legislating for Brexit: the Great Repeal Bill, CBP7793, 21 November 2016, explains, a major issue for Brexit is what to do about EU legislation that has been incorporated into UK law. Section 2(2) of the European Communities Act 1972 (ECA) provides a power for subordinate legislation to be made where the EU Treaties require Member States to make provisions in their domestic law, such as for the implementation of EU directives.
