Her Majesty's Court of Appeal is the second most senior court in the
English legal system, with only the
Appellate Committee of the House of Lords above it.The Court is divided into two Divisions: the Civil Division and the Criminal Division. The
Master of the Rolls presides over the Civil Division, while the
Lord Chief Justice does the same in the Criminal Division. The other permanent judges of the Court of Appeal are known as Lords Justices of Appeal. The court hears appeals from the
High Court and, in criminal matters, the
Crown Court, although there are rights of appeal to it from other courts and tribunals. Permission to appeal may be required from the court below or from the Court of Appeal itself.
