Chancery Division
The division of the High Court of Justice created by the Judicature Acts 1873–75 to replace the Court of Chancery. The work of the Division is principally concerned with matters relating to real property, trusts, and the administration of estates but also includes cases concerned with company law, patents and other intellectual property, and confidentiality cases. It may hear some appeals. The head of the Division was formerly known as the Vice Chancellor; under the Constitutional Reform Act 2005 this office was retitled Chancellor of the High Court. See also appellate jurisdiction; Companies Court. |
