Judicial Committee of the Privy Council
The Judicial Committee of the Privy Council (JCPC) is a court of last resort for several countries, territories, and Commonwealth nations. Established in 1833, it primarily hears appeals from lower courts, providing a final decision on legal matters. The JCPC is based in London and is composed of senior judges, including members of the House of Lords and other distinguished jurists.
The JCPC plays a crucial role in interpreting laws and ensuring justice in various jurisdictions, including Canada, Australia, and several Caribbean nations. Its decisions can influence legal systems and precedents in these regions, making it an important institution in the global legal landscape.
