THE COMMITTEE AND THE INVESTIGATION 1. This Committee was established by the following resolution of Tynwald on 21st October 2015: That a committee of three Members be appointed with powers to take written and oral evidence pursuant to sections 3 and 4 of the Tynwald Proceedings Act 1876, as amended, to consider and to report to Tynwald by June 2016 on the Petition for Redress of John Ffynlo Craine and Annie Andrée Jeannine Hommet presented at St John’s on 6th July 2015 in relation to the registration of property. 2. The Members elected to the Committee by Tynwald were Mr Boot, Mr Cannan and Mr Coleman. At our first meeting Mr Coleman was elected chair. 3. We have met on three occasions and have taken oral evidence on one occasion. We have obtained written evidence from the petitioners, from the Land Registry, and from Mrs Canipa, a member of the public. The oral and written evidence we have gathered is included in this Report. 1 II. BACKGROUND: THE REGISTRATION OF LAND IN THE ISLE OF MAN 4. It was resolved in Tynwald on 15th February 1966: That His Excellency the Lieutenant-Governor be respectfully requested to set up a Commission to examine existing legislation on conveyancing and the registration of deeds, to investigate whether the practice and procedure adopted under such legislation may be simplified and improved and to determine whether it would be feasible to develop therefrom a system of land registration which would reduce the financial burden on all parties to the sale. purchase or incumbrance of land arising from legal or other charges. Work arising from this resolution led to the enactment of the Land Registration Act 1982. Before the Act was implemented it was amended by the Land Registration (Amendment) Act 1995. It was eventually brought into force in 2002. Since then some 14,000 titles have been registered.1 5. The Land Registry explains on its website: The historic system of examining deeds recorded in the Deeds Registry under the Registration of Deeds Act 1961 in order to deduce the title or ownership of land is being replaced by a modern system requiring the registration of title to the land on a separate electronic title register created and maintained under the Land Registration Act 1982 (as amended) and the Land Registry Rules 2000 as amended by the Land Registry (Amendment) Rules 2002. Land registration was phased in across the Isle of Man as successive parishes were designated as areas subject to compulsory registration:- 1st May 2002: Andreas, Ballaugh, Bride and Jurby 1st May 2003: German, Lezayre, Maughold, Michael and Patrick 1st September 2005: The whole of the Island except for Braddan and Onchan 1st December 2009: Braddan and Onchan Registration of title to a freehold or leasehold estate in land is compulsory on a conveyance on sale, the grant of a lease for more than 21 years or the assignment of a lease where there is more than 21 years left to run. Alternatively, title may be 1 Appendix 6, Tab F, paragraph 8.1 2 voluntarily registered at any time. All applications for first registration must include a certificate by an Advocate practising on the Island in the form included in Form 1 (Application for First Registration). Once registered, the current details of a property will be found in the Land Registry. For records of unregistered property, please refer to the Deeds Registry. The benefits of land registration include:- Registration of title gives finality and certainty by providing an up-to-date official record of land ownership Ease of accessibility to up-to-date official records of ownership and other registerable interests of land Proof of ownership can be readily and speedily obtained, unlike searches of unregistered land where you may need to know the name of the owner Registered titles are guaranteed because, subject to normal insurance principles, indemnity is paid should any person suffer loss through any error in, or omission from, the title register. No such guarantee exists for unregistered property. Each title includes an extract from the survey map called a Filed Plan showing the extent of the land comprised in the registered title, although the boundaries are not conclusive unless a formal application has been made to do so. These plans are based on digital surveys of the Island. In unregistered conveyancing, there is no requirement for any deed to include a plan Dispositions of registered titles are effected by means of simple prescribed forms which are available to the public. In unregistered conveyancing, there are no prescribed forms.2 III. THE PETITION AND THE PETITIONERS’ PROPOSALS FOR REFORM 6. The dispute which led to the petition was decided by her Honour Deemster Roberts sitting as the Land Commissioner in the Land Court, judgment being delivered on 12th August 2014. Deemster Roberts’ judgment is included within the written evidence of the Land Registry and sets out the circumstances of the case in full.3 2 https://www.gov.im/registries/General/Land_Registry/ (accessed 11th April 2016) 3 Appendix 6, tab L. The judgment is also available via the Judgments Online service at www.courts.im 3 7. The petitioners summarised the case in their petition for redress as follows: Some time ago your petitioners discovered by chance that part of their property and of the occupation road leading to it had been registered as part of a neighbour’s property. Upon application under section 65 [the process for rectification of errors under the Land Registration Act 1982], the Land Commissioner ultimately agreed that the registration in question was defective. As they received no notice at the time of registration, your petitioners had no possibility of pointing out at an early stage that the registration was defective, when it could have been corrected without the years of stress and considerable expense that actually ensued. 8. In their written evidence to this Committee, the petitioners estimated the quantifiable cost of the dispute as slightly over £10,000.4 9. This Committee is not called upon to reconsider the merits of the dispute itself but to consider whether the case has any wider implications and in particular to consider the proposals for reform made by the petitioners. Those proposals are: that the Land Registration Act 1982 and/or the Land Registration Rules 2000 be amended so that applications for the first registration of property are advertised in a similar manner to planning applications and that a more efficient and equitable complaint handling procedure be established regarding such first registrations.

  • Manx Gaelic and Physics, a Personal Journey, by Brian Stowell
    keynote address Editors’ note: This is the text of a keynote address delivered at the 2011 NAACLT conference held in Douglas on The Isle of Man. Manx Gaelic and physics, a personal journey Brian Stowell. Doolish, Mee Boaldyn 2011 At the age of sixteen at the beginning of 1953, I became very much aware of the Manx language, Manx Gaelic, and the desperate situation it was in then. I was born of Manx parents and brought up in Douglas in the Isle of Man, but, like most other Manx people then, I was only dimly aware that we had our own language. All that changed when, on New Year’s Day 1953, I picked up a Manx newspaper that was in the house and read an article about Douglas Fargher. He was expressing a passionate view that the Manx language had to be saved – he couldn’t understand how Manx people were so dismissive of their own language and ignorant about it. This article had a dra- matic effect on me – I can say it changed my life. I knew straight off somehow that I had to learn Manx. In 1953, I was a pupil at Douglas High School for Boys, with just over two years to go before I possibly left school and went to England to go to uni- versity. There was no university in the Isle of Man - there still isn’t, although things are progressing in that direction now. Amazingly, up until 1992, there 111 JCLL 2010/2011 Stowell was no formal, official teaching of Manx in schools in the Isle of Man.

A number of such texts have already appeared in print, others appear here for the first time. This article seeks to bring all such known texts together under one roof in order to serve the interests of various fields of study concerned with traditional lyric-text material. Keywords: Native Manx speakers; songs; rhymes; chants; end-phase of Manx 1. Introduction The purpose of this article is to present the raw material of the songs, rhymes and chants found in and recorded from Manx tradition from the last native Manx speakers between 1883 and 1972 and to make it available to scholars as a resource. Manx Gaelic is one of the Insular Celtic languages that in recent times experienced language obsolescence, and has thereby attracted interest from scholars at an early date in the recent history of language and linguistic research.

  • Continuity and Hybridity in Language Revival: the Case of Manx CHRISTOPHER LEWIN Aberystwyth University, Wales
    Language in Society, page 1 of 29. doi:10.1017=S0047404521000580 Continuity and hybridity in language revival: The case of Manx CHRISTOPHER LEWIN Aberystwyth University, Wales ABSTRACT This article presents a typology of phonological, morphosyntactic, and lexical features illustrative of factors conditioning the usage of speakers and writers of Revived Manx, including substratal influence from English; language ideologies prevalent within the revival movement, especially forms of linguistic purism; and language-specific features of Manx and its orthography. Evidence is taken primarily from a corpus of Revived Manx speech and writing. The observed features of Revived Manx are situated within Zuckermann’s(2009, 2020) framework of ‘hybridization’ and ‘revival linguistics’, which takes Israeli Hebrew as the prototypical model of revernacularization of a non-L1 language. However, Manx arguably pro- vides a more typical example of what to expect when a revived minority lan- guage remains predominantly an L2 for an indefinite period, with each new cohort of speakers able to reshape the target variety in the absence of a firmly established L1 norm. (Manx, Celtic, language revival, language ideology, language shift, language contact)* INTRODUCTION This article presents a brief description and analysis of some of the categories of linguistic features found in contemporary Manx, by which present-day usage may diverge from the norms of the traditional language. Manx today is a revived Celtic language with no traditional native speakers. According to Zuckermann (2009, 2020) and Zuckerman & Walsh (2011), languages revived initially as an L2, such as Israeli Hebrew, inevitably have a permanent ‘hybrid’ character, blend- ing the substrate of the L1 of the ‘founder generation’ of revivalists with forms and patterns incompletely assimilated from the target language—even if they then become a fully vernacularized mother tongue of subsequent generations.

  • Mx. TRAD. SONGS Recorded from Oral Tradition
    Manx traditional songs, rhymes and chants in the repertoire of the last native Manx speakers MANX TRADITIONAL SONGS, RHYMES AND CHANTS IN THE REPERTOIRE OF THE LAST NATIVE MANX SPEAKERS GEORGE BRODERICK Universität Mannheim 1. Introduction The following collection of Manx traditional songs and song-fragments derives from a series of scientific surveys on obsolescence in Manx Gaelic from native Manx speakers undertaken in Man between the years 1886 and 1972. These surveys involved the gathering of linguistic material, whether through phonetic notation of textual readings or questioning, formal questionnaires, and / or sound-recordings, in order to enable a phonological and morphological assessment of the state of Manx Gaelic at the time. Such material also included connected prose-texts in the form of stories and anecdotes, as well as lyric-texts consisting exclusively of traditional songs, rhymes, chants, etc., either complete or in fragmentary form. The prose-texts and some of the lyric-texts were published in HLSM/I: Texts (Broderick 1984), both in phonetic script and standard Manx orthography, with English translation. In addition, many surviving song-texts from various manuscript collections, either in standard or (often) in non-standard Manx orthography, have also seen the light of day (cf. Broderick 1991). Such song-texts were obtained from the various surveys and sound-recordings which took place in the following years: 1886-93: Rh ŷs: University of Oxford, England (Prof. John Rh ŷs 1886-1893). 1 1909: Vienna Recordings: Österreichische Akademie der Wissenschaften, Vienna (Dr. Rudolf Trebitsch, 5-8 August 1909) (cf.
