Judiciary of England and Wales

The English have given the world the system of English law that has its origins in Anglo-Saxon times (Present perfect; present Simple). The legal system in England and Wales is divided into civil and criminal courts, which hear evidence and aim to determine what exactly happened in a case (Present simple passive, present simple, present simple, present simple, past simple). The lower courts decide matters of fact and the upper courts normally deal with points of law (present simple).

The House of Lords is the ultimate court of appeal for both civil and criminal cases (present simple). At the base of the criminal court system, the magistrates’ courts try more than 97 percent of the criminal cases (present simple). More serious criminal cases then go to the Crown Court, which has 90 branches in different towns and cities (present simple). In 1971 the Crown Courts replaced the individual courts, and it is now a single court that may sit anywhere in England, deal with any trial on indictment, and hear appeals and proceedings either on a sentence or on civil matters (past simple, present simple).

Civil cases are dealt with in County courts (present simple passive). In England, simple civil actions, for example family matters such as undefended divorce, are normally heard in either the Magistrates’ Courts or the County Courts (present simple passive). There’s no jury in a Magistrates’ Court (present simple). Family cases may go on appeal from the Magistrates’ Court to the County Courts (present simple). The County Court also hears complex first instance civil cases, such as contract disputes, compensation claims, consumer complaints about faulty goods or services, and bankruptcy cases (present simple).

Certain cases may be referred to the European Court of Justice in Luxembourg (present simple passive).

The legal system of Great Britain also includes juvenile courts, which deal with offenders under seventeen, and coroners’ courts which investigate violent or unnatural death (present simple). Tribunals deal with professional standards, disputes between individuals, and between individuals and government departments (present simple).

More complex civil cases are heard in the High Court of Justice, which is divided into three divisions: Family, Chancery and Queen’s Bench (present simple passive). The court has both original, that is, first instance, and appellate jurisdiction (present simple). From the High Court cases may go on appeal to the civil division of the Court of Appeal, which can reverse or uphold a decision of the lower courts (present simple). Its decisions bind all the lower civil courts (present simple). Civil cases may leapfrog from the High Court to the House of Lords, bypassing the Court of Appeal, when points of law of general public importance are involved (present simple, present simple passive). The court of the House of Lords consists of twelve life peers appointed from judges and barristers (present simple). The quorum, or minimum number, of law lords for an appeal hearing is normally three, but generally there is a sitting of five judges (present simple).
