The Court of Appeal has been making headlines recently due to its involvement in high-profile cases and controversial decisions. From ruling on the approval of major infrastructure projects like the Sizewell C nuclear plant to reducing the minimum term for serious crimes such as murder, the Court of Appeal plays a crucial role in shaping legal outcomes in the UK. Its decisions often have far-reaching implications for individuals, businesses, and government policies.
The Court of Appeal in the UK is a superior court of record that hears appeals from decisions made by the High Court and certain tribunals. It is divided into two divisions: the Civil Division, which deals with non-criminal cases, and the Criminal Division, which handles criminal appeals. The Court of Appeal consists of the Lord Chief Justice, the Master of the Rolls, and Lords Justices of Appeal. It is known for its rigorous review of legal arguments and evidence presented by parties, ultimately delivering judgments that set legal precedents and clarify points of law.
