Court of King's Bench
The Court of King's Bench is a historical court in England that primarily dealt with criminal cases and civil disputes. It was established in the 14th century and served as a higher court, allowing appeals from lower courts. The court's name changed to the Court of Queen's Bench when a queen reigned, reflecting the gender of the monarch.
Today, the functions of the Court of King's Bench are carried out by the King's Bench Division of the High Court of Justice. This division handles serious criminal cases, civil claims, and judicial reviews, ensuring that justice is served in a fair and efficient manner.
