Court of Appeal (UK)

The Court of Appeal in the UK is a high court that reviews cases from lower courts to ensure the correct legal principles were applied. It primarily handles appeals on points of law rather than facts, meaning it examines whether the law was properly interpreted, rather than re-evaluating evidence. Its decisions set important legal precedents that guide future cases. The court is divided into two divisions: the Civil Division, which deals with appeals in civil cases, and the Criminal Division, which handles appeals in criminal cases. It functions to ensure justice and consistency in the application of the law across the country.
