Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The House of Lords served as the highest court in the UK for over 130 years. In 2009 the new UK Supreme Court took over its judicial functions, closing the doors on one of the most influential legal institutions in the world, and a major chapter in the history of the UK legal system. 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.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Appellate Jurisdiction of the House of Lords and of the Full Parliament House is secured to every individual within the realm by the Act against Tumultuous Assemblies,1 and that right assuredly has never been suffered to lapse by disuse. Yet the fact remains that few people recognise that the House of Commons has any strictly judicial functions at all, and still fewer that the full Parliament is the highest Court of Justice and the ultimate Court of Appeal within this realm. The explanation of this anomaly is without doubt to be sought in the easy working and great success of our subordinate judicial machinery. The widely extended operations of our courts of law and equity leave comparatively few wrongs unredressed, and give rise to few serious complaints of miscarriage of justice. The labours of the Court of Appeal reduce to a minimum the occasions for recourse to the House of Lords, and until the outburst of feeling occasioned by the decision in the Free Church case, there has been in recent years no tendency on the part of the great public to criticise or cavil at the exercise of the Lords' jurisdiction. Miscarriages there have of co'urse been, discussions there have been, and every now and then a keen and sometimes an indignant interest in the proceedings of some court of law. But no insufferable wrong has hitherto, within living memory, called for the exercise of the highest judicial authority, and thus the success of the lesser tribunals has actually so obscured the very existence of the greatest that it has become obsolescent.

Book excerpt: The roughly 700-member House of Lords is not only a legislative body, it is also the final court of appeal for most cases decided in the United Kingdom. These days cases are not heard by the main body of the House of Lords, they are decided by a committee of the House known as the Appellate Committee. There are 12 full-time members on that Committee - the Lords of Appeal in Ordinary. They are judges who have been appointed into the House of Lords specifically to hear appeals, and who do the work of the Appellate Commiitee. Lately the Lords of Appeal have been in the news because of the General Pinochet Appeal. This case has highlighted the importance of the Appellate Committee - and the fallibility of its members. But despite this recent splash of publicity the public still knows little of the Appellate Committee and its members. This book seeks to change that: it looks at the workings of the Appellate Committee and the work done by the Lords of Appeal. It is based in part on interviews conducted with past and present Appellate Committee members and is intended for anyone who is interested in discovering more about the personal and professional lives of the members of the most eminent and powerful judicial body in the United Kingdom.
