    Could you please explain the hierarchy of both civil and criminal courts and from which higher courts would they hear appeals?

    How many courts have civil and criminal jurisdiction to hear such cases? And where to ECJ or ECHR fits in?

    I am confused between the hierarchy in civil & criminal courts. Please explain. Thanks 🙂

    Civil and Criminal courts hierarchy:

    1) Supreme court (SC)
    SC has both civil and criminal jurisdiction (SC heard both civil and criminal cases)

    2) Court of Appeal (COA)
    COA has both civil and criminal jurisdiction (COA heard both civil and criminal cases)

    3) High court (HC)
    HC has both civil and criminal jurisdiction (HC heard both civil and criminal cases)

    4) Crown court (Crown)
    Crown court has only criminal jurisdiction (Crown heard criminal cases only)

    5) Country court (CC)
    It deals with unresolved matters of property in Contract and Tort law. It has only civil jurisdiction (CC heard civil cases only)

    6) Magistrate court (MC)
    It deals with small domestic matters. It has both civil and criminal jurisdiction (MC heard both civil and criminal cases)

    These are all the courts’ hierarchy that deals with both civil and criminal cases. First tell me that since crown court has criminal jurisdiction only so they will not hear civil cases?

    Please correct me if I am wrong anywhere? Then please explain the three divisions of the High court and what do they deal with and what jurisdiction they have to hear cases such as civil or criminal cases (or both)?

    “These are all the courts’ hierarchy that deals with both civil and criminal cases. First tell me that since crown court has criminal jurisdiction only so they will not hear civil cases?” Correct

    I can’t see any mistakes other than these are not ALL the courts. There are other very minor courts beyond your required knowledge for example the Ecclesiastical Court dealing exclusively with church matters

    Three divisions are Family Division, Chancery Division and Queens Bench Division

    Chancery deals with deals with business law, trusts law, probate law, insolvency, and land law

    Family deals with personal human matters such as divorce, children, probate and medical treatment

    Queens Bench deals with pretty much anything else

    For a fuller explanation of their realms of responsibility, check out this link!

    OK?
