Four Petitions for the Redress of Grievance were presented at the recent open air sitting of Tynwald at St John's.
The procedure of petitioning parliament is an ancient cornerstone of Manx justice which some people may think a little old-fashioned in an age of arbitration, litigation, human rights awareness and official complaints procedures.

Chief minister confirms plans for consultation on social media ban
Alfred Cannan says government wants to hear from those who would be affected
Further committee to judge whether ministerial system change is needed
CLAJ to present findings to Tynwald next month
Manx politicians recall dealings with MP tipped to be next prime minister
Burnham was health secretary during negotiations over health agreement
Review of drug sentencing needed as a 'matter of urgency'
DHA asked to take action after failed appeals from convicted drug dealers
