divisional court

An English court made up of two or more judges from the High Court of Justice sitting in special cases that cannot be disposed of by one judge.

• Each division of the High Court has a divisional court, e.g., the Divisional Court of the Family Division. With the exception of the Divisional Court of the Chancery Division, which has jurisdiction to review land-registration appeals from the county court, almost all judicial appeals are from decisions of a magistrates’ court. The Divisional Court of the Queen’s Bench Division hears appeals from the Crown Court or the magistrates’ court by way of case stated in criminal prosecutions, which is the most frequent use of a divisional court.
