High Court of Justice (UK)

The High Court of Justice in the UK is a key part of the country's judicial system, primarily responsible for hearing complex civil cases, such as disputes involving land, contracts, or personal injury, and some judicial reviews. It operates across several divisions, including the Queen's Bench, Chancery, and Family divisions, each specialized in different areas of law. The High Court is based in London and handles cases that are more serious or nuanced than those heard in lower courts. It also hears appeals from lower courts and tribunals, ensuring consistent and fair application of justice.
