I have two questions:
(Q1)
Is it also correct that decisions of courts can be appealed to the higher courts by lower courts. For eg if the magistrate court has to appeal it will be heard in higher courts such as: crown court and high court.Similarly, if the county court has to appeal it will be heard in higher courts such as: crown court and high court.
(Q2) Could you please explain what do these courts deal with?
Structure of courts
1) Supreme court
2) Court of Appeal
3) High court (Queen division / Chancery division / Family division)
4) Crown court
5) Magistrate court
6) Country courtThere appears to be a bit of confusion here! “Is it also correct that decisions of courts can be appealed to the higher courts by lower courts. For eg if the magistrate court has to appeal it will be heard in higher courts such as: crown court and high court.”
The position is that it’s not a court that appeals to a higher court. The appellant is the person that lost their case in the first (lower) court can appeal that decision and ask a higher court to reconsider the verdict
Another bit of confusion here.
“Similarly, if the county court has to appeal it will be heard in higher courts such as: crown court and high court.”
County Court and Crown Court are of similar status. Crown Court has jurisdiction over criminal cases whereas County Court has jurisdiction over civil cases
Finally, I believe that Chapter 2 pages 9 – 11 contain all the information to give you a sound basis of knowledge required
Of course, you’ll need to make extensive use of a revision kit from one of the approved ACCA publishers (20% discount available if you buy a ny BPP material by using the link in the yellow box above)
OK?
