The Judicature Acts are a set of laws passed in the United Kingdom in the late 19th century, specifically in 1873 and 1875. These acts aimed to simplify and unify the court system by merging the Court of Chancery and the Common Law Courts. This reform was intended to make the legal process more efficient and accessible to the public. By establishing a single system of courts, the Judicature Acts allowed for a more streamlined approach to legal proceedings. They introduced the concept of a unified court structure, enabling judges to handle both legal and equitable matters in one place, thus improving the administration of justice.
