The Judge of Appeal is a judge in the Isle of Man High Court who only sits in the Staff of Government Division, the appeal court.[1]
The position was created by the Judicature (Amendment) Act 1918 which also amalgamated the offices of First Deemster and Clerk of the Rolls. The judge must be an English King's Counsel.
The current Judge of Appeal is Jeremy Storey KC; formerly a part-time position, this has been full-time since 2017.[2]
