Supreme Court of Judicature
A court created by the Judicature Acts 1873–75 to take over the jurisdiction of all the higher courts, other than the House of Lords, existing at that time. It did not sit as a single court but comprised the High Court of Justice, the Court of Appeal, and the Crown Court. On the establishment of the Supreme Court of the United Kingdom in 2009, these courts were renamed the Senior Courts of England and Wales. See also Rules of the Supreme Court. |
