章节摘录

　　Civil courts　　Civil courts deal with cases concerning a range of money, property,contracts, and family matters. In England and Wales, about 90 per cent of civil cases are heard in county courts before a single judge, with a few minor civil cases heard in magistrates courts. There are about 300 county courts in England and Wales in 250 districts. Above the county courts is the High Court,which hears more complicated civil cases. High Court cases are sent to one of three divisions: the Family Division, which handles complex divorce cases,adoptions, and matters relating to children; the Chancery Division, which handles business matters and estate cases; or the Queens Bench Division,which handles property matters and torts, as well as maritime and commercial cases. Appeals are heard by the Court of Appeals for the Civil Division, and ultimately by the House of Lords.　　In Scotland, most civil actions are dealt with in the sheriffs court with some exceptions in the higher Court of Session. In Northern Ireland, most civil cases are handled in the High Court.　　The House of Lords　　As afore-mentioned, the House of Lords is the final point of appeal for most legal cases, civil or criminal, in England and Wales. All appeals to the House of Lords are about the meaning of the law, rather than the evidence in a case. The Appellate Committee of the House of Lords receives appeals from the courts in England, Wales and Northern Ireland, and in civil cases from Scotland. The Lord Chancellor and up to five Law Lords hear the case and make their decisions on the basis of the current state of the law.　　The Constitutional Reform Act 2005 created a new Supreme Court of the United Kingdom, which takes over the Supreme Court of Judicature and serves as the highest court of appeal from the courts of England and Wales and of Northern Ireland and （except in criminal matters） from the courts of Scotland.To avoid confusion, the Supreme Court of Judicature then becomes known as the Senior Courts of England and Wales.
