The decision of magistrate court in criminal cases can be appealed to which two of the following courts?
A) crown court B) High court C) court of appeal

This question is in Kaplan kit and answer there is A&B
Shouldn’t the answer be A&C because I haven’t read that high court deal with any criminal case appeal

Hi Sadaf,

So the High Court has 3 civil divisions (Chancery, Queens Bench and Family). But it also has a Criminal Division so criminal cases may well be appealed to the High Court.

I hope this clarifies.

Kind regards,

Vijay

Hi

If you are appealing from the Magistrates you cant jump to the Court of Appeal.

You therefore have to either appeal to the Crown Court or the High Court (Criminal Division).

Kind regards,

Vijay
