Court of King’s (or Queen’s) Bench in Ireland

Court of King’s (or Queen’s) Bench in Ireland 〈英〉爱尔兰王座法庭 源于爱尔兰首席政法官〔justiciar〕所主持的法庭,原为由后者主持的巡回法庭,管辖范围包括刑事、土地占有和其它一些民事方面的案件。1290年任命了一名法官处理原来管辖的那些案件,1324年又任命了一名首席法官,1391年遂成为王座法庭,1655年称之为上座法庭〔Upper Bench〕,复辟后又恢复原名,1877年成为爱尔兰高等法院的王座分庭,后来于爱尔兰和北爱尔兰的法院分立之时消失。

King’s Council

King’s Council 〈英〉御前会议 在国王宫廷里由各政务官员、法官、主教和贵族组成的咨询机构。当王座法庭〔King’s Bench〕、民诉法庭〔Common Pleas〕和财税法庭〔Exchequer〕从御前会议分离出来成为常规性的法院后,国王在御前会议继续根据这些官员、法官、主教和贵族的咨询意见行使个人的司法管辖权,御前会议不仅作为上诉法庭,也作为初审法庭存在。其后,御前会议逐渐演变成现代的枢密院。从某种程度上讲,国会上议院也源自御前会议。
