Court of Exchequer

The Court of Exchequer was a historical court in England that dealt primarily with cases involving revenue, money, and financial disputes. Established in the 12th century, it was responsible for overseeing the collection of royal taxes and resolving related legal issues. It was part of the broader English legal system, which included other courts like the Court of Common Pleas and the Court of King's Bench. Over time, its functions and jurisdiction were absorbed by other courts, and it was officially merged into the modern system in 1886, reflecting changes in governance and the economy.
