Exchequer of Pleas

The Exchequer of Pleas was a historical court in England that dealt primarily with financial disputes, particularly those involving the Crown's revenue and land taxes. Established in the medieval period, it focused on cases related to debts owed to the king or issues concerning royal finances. Its decisions helped shape the legal framework for financial matters in England. Over time, its functions were absorbed into other legal systems, but it played a crucial role in the development of public finance and administration in the country.
