Liam was convicted of a criminal offence by a Magistrate’s Court in the English legal system. If Liam has grounds to appeal, which court will the case move to next? A Crown Court B High Court C Court of Appeal D Supreme Court
I first answered A, because I thought it goes to Crown Court from Magistrate’s Court as the diagram was shown in the BPP textbook.
However, why does the answer key state like this “Appeals from a Magistrate’s Court are heard by the High Court (Queen’s Bench Division).” ?
Does it always go directly to High Court from the Magistrate’s Court?
