THE COURT SYSTEM OF ENGLAND AND WALES



The most common type of law court in England and Wales is the magistrates' court . There are 700 magistrates' courts and about 30, 000 magistrates.

More serious criminal cases then go to the Crown Court, which has 90 branches in different towns and cities. Civil cases (for example, divorce or bankruptcy cases ) are dealt with in County courts.

Appeals are heard by higher courts. For example, appeals from magis­trates’ courts are heard in the Crown Court. The highest court of appeal in England and Wales is the House of Lords. (Scotland has its own High Court in Edinburgh, which hears all appeals from Scottish courts. ) Certain cases maybe referred to the European Court of Justice in Luxembourg.

The legal system also includes juvenile courts (which deal with offenders under seventeen) and coroners' courts (which investigate violent, sudden or unnatural deaths). There are administrative tribunals which make quick, cheap and fair decisions with much less formality. Tribunals deal with disputes between individuals and disputes between individuals and government departments (for example, over taxation ).
