This is from BPP Mock 1 question
Liam was convicted of a criminal offence by a Magistrate’s Court in the English legal System.
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 CourtThe correct answer is B.
I think Liam can also appeal to Crown Court.
I also don’t understand the difference between the two word “Appeal” and “Appeal by way of cse stated”.
Please help me about this, Sir!This is an interesting extract from wikipedia – interesting because it also mentions appeal from magistrates court to county court!
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Challenges_to_decisions_of_England_and_Wales_magistrates’_courts
Extract from said article: There are four mechanisms under which a decision of a magistrates’ court may be challenged:
reconsideration by the same magistrates’ court;[1]
appeal to the Crown Court;[2]
appeal to the High Court of Justice (Queen’s Bench Division) by way of case stated; and
judicial review in the High Court (Queen’s Bench Division).It also explains “case stated”
ok?
Then, the correct answer should be A, right?
I think BPP made a mistake.The following sentence is what they explained.
Appeals from a Magistrate’s Court are heard by the High Court(Queen’s Bench Division)
