County Court

A County Court is a type of court in the legal system of many countries, including the UK and the US, where civil cases are heard. These courts typically handle a variety of cases, such as contract disputes, personal injury claims, land issues, and family matters. County Courts are subordinate to higher courts, meaning they deal with less serious cases. They aim to provide accessible justice for individuals and businesses, ensuring disputes can be resolved fairly and efficiently within the local community. The proceedings are generally less formal than in higher courts.
