Supreme Court reference: I am not sure that this section is correct: "The Royal Courts of Justice, commonly called the Law Courts, is a building in London that houses the Court of Appeal and the High Court of Justice of England and Wales, together known as the "Supreme Court"." The Supreme Court of Judicature comprises the Court of Appeal, the High Court of Justice and the Crown Court. I do not recall a separate "Supreme Court".--ukexpat 21:03, 7 May 2007 (UTC)

Currently governed by the Supreme Court Act 1981. Its the union of the Court of Appeal, High Court and Crown Court. I am not sure why that causes any puzzlement. Francis Davey 15:31, 27 October 2007 (UTC)

[edit] "situate" vs "situated"

Another user has reverted an edit I made changing "situate" to "situated". The former usage is rather archaic in standard British English (which is that spoken in and around the Royal Courts of Justice). I have asked him to comment here on his reasoning for the revert, hopefully it can then be discussed. Francis Davey 11:37, 28 October 2007 (UTC)
