Court Jurisdiction Question 2

Hi all,

Here is the second question.

 

Outline the appellate jurisdiction of the County Court.

The County Court has no appellate civil jurisdiction. In addition, the County Courts appellate criminal jurisdiction are criminal appeals from the magistrates court on the grounds of fact or sentence, they are all heard by one judge.

My comments:

Again, get the simple things that they cant do out first. Reasons are also crucial. You need to know the ground for the appeals in each court as its not really all the appeals, its only some.

Again identify who hears the case. The fact that its not just a magistrate is important. A judge is more learned and thereby superior in their decisions in comparison to a magistrate.

I hope this can help you,
JB
