High Court (UK)

The High Court in the UK is a key part of the country's judicial system, handling serious civil and some criminal cases. It is divided into three main divisions: the Queen’s Bench, which deals with disputes and tort claims; the Chancery, which focuses on business and property matters; and the Family Division, which addresses family law issues. The High Court can hear appeals from lower courts and has authority over legal interpretations. Its decisions can set important legal precedents, influencing future cases across the UK legal system.
