County Courts Act 1984
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The County Courts Act 1984 is an Act of the Parliament of the United Kingdom (citation 1984 c. 28); the long title of the Act is "An Act to consolidate certain enactments relating to county courts". The Act replaced the County Courts Act 1959.
County Courts are a type of inferior Court in the court system of England and Wales. The Act establishes various rules relating to this type of Court.
Section 15 of the Act limits the type of case which can be heard by a County Court, the most important being libel and slander, an action for which may only be taken in the Queen's Bench Division of the High Court of Justice.
