The House of Lords served as the highest court in the UK for over 130 years.

This volume gathers over 40 leading scholars and practitioners from the UK and beyond to provide a comprehensive history of the House of Lords as a judicial institution, charting its role, working practices, reputation and impact on the law and UK legal system. The book examines the origins of the House's judicial work; the different phases in the court's history; the international reputation and influence of the House in the legal profession; the domestic perception of the House outside the law; and the impact of the House on the UK legal tradition and substantive law. The book offers an invaluable overview of the Judicial House of Lords and a major historical record for the UK legal system now that it has passed into the next chapter in its history.

Languages : en
Pages : 64
Book Description
Excerpt from The Appellate Jurisdiction of the House of Lords and of the Full Parliament The decision of the House of Lords in the case of the General Assembly of the Free Church of Scotland v. Overtoun, and the practical difficulties and widespread dissatisfaction to which that decision has given rise, have made an appeal to the full Parliament necessary. The necessity has, indeed, been recognised by the Government, and a Royal Commission has just produced a report upon which, doubtless, Parliament will be asked to frame a remedy. A question thus arises of great interest, and of the very greatest consequence, touching the nature of this remedy. Is it to be considered under the form of an appeal from the House of Lords to the full Parliament, and to be framed as a judgment on the merits awarded by Parliament sitting as the final appellate tribunal of this realm; or is it to be in the nature of ex post facto legislation by the supreme legislature? It is clear that these two courses are in strong contrast with one another, and that the adoption of the one or the other course must affect not only the procedure to be pursued, but also, and to a very material extent, the line to be followed in discussion and the substance of the remedy to be applied.
