    Hi Fizaali,

    So its probably wise to watch the recorded lectures on this topic. However I can provide you with a summary:

    The most senior court in the UK is the Supreme Court. The Supreme Court can make decisions which are binding on all lower courts but not itself. Below the Supreme Court you have the Court of Appeal. The Court of Appeal can make decisions which are binding on all lower courts and generally itself.

    Below the Court of Appeal you have the Hight Court. The High Court has different Civil Divisions for example the Queens Bench Division which deals with Contract and Tort law. The Chancery Division which deals with Company law, The Family Division which deals with family disputes. Decisions made by the High Court are binding on all lower courts and generally itself.

    Below the Hight Court is the Crown Court (Criminal only), County Court (Civil only) and the Magistrates Court (Civil and Criminal). These courts can not create decisions which are binding on other courts.

    I hope this helps?

    Vijay
