  • 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.

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.

  • 'WORTHY of NOTICE': the LEGAL SYSTEM and CUSTOMARY LAWS in the ISLE of MAN Jennifer Corrin*
    43 'WORTHY OF NOTICE': THE LEGAL SYSTEM AND CUSTOMARY LAWS IN THE ISLE OF MAN Jennifer Corrin* Commencing with some background on Isle of Man and its history, this article gives an overview of the legal system of the Isle of Man, including the sources of law and courts. It then looks more specifically at the nature and role of customary law on the island. The article explores two examples of longstanding customary laws (legitimacy and inheritance, and treasure trove), which remained in force until relatively recently. It concludes that, whilst the Manx legal system is strongly influenced by the English common law system, it has retained its unique character, stemming from its legal heritage. L'île de Man est une dépendance de la Couronne britannique. Après un bref rappel historique de l'évolution de son statut, l'auteure propose aux lecteurs un aperçu des composantes de son système juridique actuel. Les développements portent ensuite sur la place et la portée du droit coutumier encore pregnant dans cette dépendance et plus spécifiquement sur les règles qui sont restées en vigueur jusqu'à une date relativement récente, concernant le droit de succession et la découverte, par le pur effet du hasard, d'une chose cachée ou enfouie. En guise de conclusion, l'auteure estime que si le système juridique de l'île de Man est fortement influencé par le système de la Common Law anglaise, il a néanmoins conservé un caractère unique, conséquence de son héritage juridique. I INTRODUCTION The Isle of Man is a small island marooned in the middle of the Irish sea.
