The House of Lords and the English Court of Appeal
This chapter discusses the relationship between the Court of Appeal in England and Wales and the House of Lords. The Court of Appeal provides the House of Lords with four-fifths of its caseload. According to the annual Judicial Statistics, in the period 2002 to 2007, 68.8% of appeals presented to the Lords came from the Civil Division of the Court of Appeal, and 10% from the Criminal Division. The chapter begins by looking at the civil jurisdictions of the two courts. Some of the material in the following sections is adapted from a recently published study of the Civil Division of the Court of Appeal.
