Supreme Court Of Judicature in Europe<\/h1>\n

Definition of Supreme Court Of Judicature<\/h2>\n

\n

The Court formed by the Judicature Act, 1873 (as modified by later Acts). It consists of two permanent divisions, viz., a Court of original jurisdiction, called the High Court of Justice, and a Court of appellate jurisdiction, called the Court of Appeal.
The High Court of Justice exercises the former jurisdiction of the Court of Chancery, the Courts of Queen’s Bench, Common Pleas and Exchequer, the Courts of Probate, Divorce and Admiralty, the London Court of Bankruptcy, the Court of Common Pleas at Lancaster, the Court of Pleas at Durham, and the Courts of the Judges or commissioners of assize. It is a Superior Court of Record, with the Lord Chancellor as President.
The High Court was originally divided into five divisions, viz., the Chancery Division, the Queen’s Bench Division, the Common Pleas Division, the Exchequer Division, and the Probate, Divorce and Admiralty Division. An order in Council of 1881 abolished the offices of the Lord Chief Justice of the Common Pleas and the Lord Chief Baron, and consolidated the Queen’s Bench, Common Pleas and Exchequer Divisions into one division called the Queen’s (or King’s) Bench Division, under the presidency of a Lord Chief Justice. An appeal lies to the Court of Appeal from all judgments and orders of the High Court in its ordinary jurisdiction.
The Court of Appeal exercises the former jurisdiction of the Lord Chancellor and Court of Appeal in Chancery, the Court of Exchequer Chamber, and the Privy Council in Admiralty and Lunacy appeals. It consists of the Lord Chancellor, the Lord Chief Justice, the Master of the Rolls, five ordinary Judges entitled ” Lords Justices of Appeal, ” the President of the Probate, Divorce and Admiralty Division, and every person who has held the office of Lord Chancellor. The Lord Chancellor is ex officio the President of the Court.
The Judicature Act, 1873, and the later Acts are now merged in the Supreme Court of Judicature (Consolidation) Act, 1925<\/p>\n<\/h4>\n
