Civil courts
The main civil courts comprise, in ascending order of importance:
-in some matters, magistrates’ courts, although these
courts deal mainly with criminal matter;
-the County Court;
-the High Court of Justice, which has three divisions –
Queen’s Bench, Family, and Chancery – and which,
together with the Court of Appeal and the Crown Court (a purely
criminal court) is known somewhat misleadingly as the Supreme
Court of Judicature (misleading because for practical purposes
the House of Lords is the supreme court);
-the Court of Appeal; - Civil Division;
-the House of Lords.
Magistrates’ Court
As mentioned above, magistrates’ courts are primarily
criminal courts, but magistrates have power to make separation
and maintenance orders on grounds such as desertion, ill-treatment,
or habitual drunkenness. They also have power to issue licences
for the sale of alcoholic drinks and the running of betting
shops, and they can deal with the recovery of small civil
debts, such as outstanding bills for gas and electricity.
