Divisional Court

Divisional Court meaning

As well as having an original jurisdiction of their own, all three divisions of the High Court have appellate jurisdiction to hear appeals from lower Courts and tribunals. The Divisional Court of the Chancery Division deals with appeals in bankruptcy matters from the County Court. The most recognisable divisional court is the Administrative Court, a specialised court of the King's Bench Division that handles criminal and judicial review issues. In addition, the Family and Chancery Divisions have their own courts to handle specific situations. The Divisional Courts have authority over the High Court. The Supreme Court is not bound by its own prior rulings. It may establish precedents for subordinate courts, but these precedents have a lesser standing than those established by the Court of Appeal, the old House of Lords, or the current Supreme Court.
