The High Court can, and does, sit anywhere in the country
as business requires, although a great deal of its business
is done in the Royal Courts of Justice in the Strand in London.
There are three divisions of the High Court: the Chancery
Division, the Family
Division, and the Queen’s
Bench Division.
Within each division there is what may be called an ordinary
court, in which cases are heard at first instance, and what
is confusingly known as a Divisional Court (so that one talks,
for example, of the Divisional Court of the Chancery
Division) which deals with certain appeals from lower
courts.
Each division deals with specified matters as detailed below,
and will not hear cases which are within the jurisdiction
of another division.
If, however, a plaintiff brings an action in the wrong division
he will not necessarily lose his case: it will instead be
transferred to the correct division.
