the English Court of Appeal

The English Court of Appeal is a high court that reviews decisions from lower courts, mainly Criminal and Civil divisions, to ensure they were correctly decided. It does not conduct new trials but assesses whether legal errors affected the outcome. Its role is to clarify the law and ensure consistent application across the country. The Court of Appeal can uphold, reverse, or modify judgments and is composed of Lord Justices who are experienced judges. Its decisions are important as they help develop the law and guide lower courts.
