The High Court of Tynwald is the parliament
of the Isle of Man and has an unlimited, but not necessarily exclusive,
legislative competence.Tynwald is of Norse origin and over 1,000 years
old, and is thus the oldest parliament in the world with an unbroken
existence.
It has two Branches, the Legislative Council and the House of Keys,
which sit separately to consider legislation, but also sit together in
Douglas, and annually at St John's, for other parliamentary purposes.
