English Legal System: Court of Appeal

In the context of the English law, A Dictionary of Law provides the following legal concept of Court of Appeal : A court created by the Judicature Acts 1873-75, forming part of the *Supreme Court of Judicature. The Court exercises *appellate jurisdiction over all judgments and orders of the High Court and most determinations of judges of the county courts. In some cases the Court of Appeal is the *court of last resort, but in most cases its decisions can be appealed to the *House of Lords, with permission of the Court of Appeal or the House of Lords. The Court is divided into a Civil Division (presided over by the *Master of the Rolls) and a Criminal Division (presided over by the *Lord Chief Justice). The ordinary judges of the Court are the Lords Justices of Appeal (*Lords Justice of Appeal), but other specific office holders and High Court judges may, by invitation, also sit in the Court.
