Talk:Court of Appeal of England and Wales

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Tidied up this page and removed some confusing material about which judges could sit (or couls be required to sit) in the CA, which didn't look accurate (eg seemed to confuse circuit judges with High Court judges) and wasn't very interesting. Added a bit about where appeals come from, but it's rather vague. This page could still do with attention. Chris R 18:37, 20 January 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Ranking of courts

"Her Majesty's Court of Appeal is the second most senior court in the English legal system, with only the Judicial Committee of the House of Lords above it." So the Privy Council is the third most senior court? Apokrif 17:39, 10 July 2006 (UTC)

Its just a stupid thing to say, and a dumb way to describe the court of appeal. There isn't really a concept of "seniority" in the law of England. For most purposes, the only court which is precedentially binding on the Court of Appeal is the House of Lords (lets not argue about the "Judicial Committee" nonsense), but that is about all that can usefully be said.
