Sir, A was convicted of a criminal offence by a Magistrate’s Court. If A has grounds to appeal, which court will the case move to next? Will it move to High court or will it move to Crown court?
This article concerns the legal mechanisms by way of which a decision of an England and Wales magistrates’ court may be challenged. 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).
OK?
