Court Of King’s Bench in Europe
Definition of Court Of King’s Bench
The Court originally held in the presence of the King. It was one of the superior Courts of common law, having, ultimately, in ordinary civil actions concurrent jurisdiction with the Courts of Common Pleas and Exchequer. Its principal Judge was styled the Lord Chief Justice of England. It also had special jurisdiction over inferior Courts, magistrates and civil corporations by the prerogative writs of mandamus, prohibition and certiorari, and in proceedings by quo warranto and habeas corpus. It was also the principal Court of criminal jurisdiction in England : informations might be filed and indictments preferred in it in the first instance. The King’s Bench accordingly had two ” sides,” namely, the ” plea side,” for civil business, and the ” Crown side,” or ” Crown Office,” for the criminal and extraordinary jurisdiction. The Court was merged in the Supreme Court by the Judicature Act, 1873, of which it is now the King’s Bench Division. See Bill of Middlesex
