Talk:Royal Courts of Justice

Supreme Court reference
Supreme Court reference: I am not sure that this section is correct: "The Royal Courts of Justice, commonly called the Law Courts, is a building in London that houses the Court of Appeal and the High Court of Justice of England and Wales, together known as the "Supreme Court"." The Supreme Court of Judicature comprises the Court of Appeal, the High Court of Justice and the Crown Court. I do not recall a separate "Supreme Court".--ukexpat 21:03, 7 May 2007 (UTC)
 * Currently governed by the Supreme Court Act 1981. Its the union of the Court of Appeal, High Court and Crown Court. I am not sure why that causes any puzzlement. Francis Davey 15:31, 27 October 2007 (UTC)

"situate" vs "situated"
Another user has reverted an edit I made changing "situate" to "situated". The former usage is rather archaic in standard British English (which is that spoken in and around the Royal Courts of Justice). I have asked him to comment here on his reasoning for the revert, hopefully it can then be discussed. Francis Davey 11:37, 28 October 2007 (UTC)

Possible Error
Under Appeals and further cases, it is stated that "The case was heard in Court 1 of the Court of Appeal in the 1100 year old Royal Courts of Justice."

This doesn't seem correct to me, is that supposed to be 110 year old? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 82.18.132.162 (talk) 10:10, 1 July 2008 (UTC)

Vandalism
The opening section of this article has clearly been vandalised, but I do not have the knowledge necessary to correct this. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Stephen Fulcher (talk • contribs) 17:14, 15 May 2011 (UTC)

Move
Should this page be moved to Royal Courts of Justice, London, as the UK has two Royal Courts of Justice? This would also be consistent with the other UK court at Royal Courts of Justice, Belfast 82.18.177.13 (talk) 07:05, 2 January 2015 (UTC)

Cost
In the main body there is a detailed breakdown (with citations) of the cost as being under £1 million

In the 'General Information' box on the right margin, it says "2 million - I do not know how to correct or challenge this anomaly 109.148.242.46 (talk) 08:39, 21 July 2022 (UTC)

Past tense
In the architecture section, several sentences are in the past tense, seeming to imply that the described features have since been changed. Other sentences are in the present tense. As there is no reference to changes, it would seem that all should be in the present tense. 109.144.216.171 (talk) 00:54, 1 April 2023 (UTC)


 * Now changed to the present tense. Dormskirk (talk) 09:07, 1 April 2023 (UTC)

Purpose and function of the court
What does this court actually do? Criminal? Civil? The location, name, archictecture, history of the building and the fact that it is not "connected" to the Old Bailey are all fascinating facts. But what does the court do? What type of cases are heard there? What famous cases are heard there? How are the judges addressed? What rank to the judges hold in the judicial hierarchy? None of these issues are addressed in the article. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2A02:C7C:5C66:7700:8472:C74B:61AE:73AC (talk) 12:57, 13 February 2024 (UTC)
