Divisional court (England and Wales)

[1] Matters heard by a divisional court include some criminal cases in the High Court (including appeals from magistrates' courts and in extradition proceedings) as well as certain judicial review cases.[2] The best known divisional court is that of the Administrative Court, which is a specialist court in the King's Bench Division which deals with judicial review claims, some criminal appeals (including by case stated) and writs of habeas corpus.[2] There are also divisional courts of the Family and Chancery Divisions to deal with certain cases.The usual constitution of a divisional court is one Lord Justice of Appeal and one High Court judge, in comparison to other sittings of the High Court which are usually before a single High Court judge.This article relating to law in the United Kingdom, or its constituent jurisdictions, is a stub.
