In Great Britain, there is no court called "Supreme Court." The highest court there is the [British House of Lords]?, which hears appeals from the British Court of Appeals and the [British High Court]?. (The Court of Appeals can also hear some appeals from the High Court. Below the High Court are the Crown Court, County Courts, Magistrates' Courts and Tribunals. This parenthetical comment should be moved to an appropriate British law page.)

The highest court there is the [British House of Lords]?, which hears appeals from the British Court of Appeals and the [British High Court]?. Rather perversely, the procedures of all courts in England and Wales except the House of Lords are controlled by a statute called The Supreme Court Act (The Court of Appeals can also hear some appeals from the High Court. Below the High Court are the Crown Court, County Courts, Magistrates' Courts and Tribunals. This parenthetical comment should be moved to an appropriate British law page.)
