Divisional Court

Divisional Court. A Court (which takes under the Jud. Act the place of the Court 'in banc': see BANC) constituted of two judges of the High Court, or as many more judges as the President of a Division, with the concurrence of the judges of the Division, may think expedient, for the transaction of such business as may be ordered by Rules of Court to be heard by a Divisional Court (Judicature Act, 1925, s. 63, replacing App. Jur. Act, 1876, s. 17). Much of the business of the King's Bench Division, but none of that of the other Divisions, is transacted by Divisional Courts, consisting usually of two judges. Five judges have thrice sat, but in order for more than two to sit, the President of the Division, with the concurrence of not less than two judges thereof, must be of opinion that it is expedient so to constitute the Court (Judicature Act, 1925, s. 63(6), replacing Jud. Act, 1884, s. 4). See PRECEDENTS and R.S.C. Ord. LIX.Appeals from County Courts no longer lie to the Divisional Cou...
