Hi sir, I am confused on this question I found, 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? Thank you Sir

I believe that this is an interesting article from the web ... though I have to admit to some degree of confusion with BPP's answer Unless the question has mentioned '... appeal by way of case stated' https://www.defence-barrister.co.uk/appealing-against-a-magistrates-court-conviction OK?
