Задание 5.Прочтите и переведите текст и ответьте на вопрос: What trials lie with the Crown Court?
Magistrate’s Courts.
Less serious criminal cases are tried by Magistrates’ Courts. Most Magistrates’ Courts consist of two to seven lay Magistrates (Justices of Peace) who do not receive any payment and who normally do not possess any legal qualifications. Lay Justices of Peace are advised on points of law and procedure by a legally – qualified clerk of the court. The chief work of the magistrates is the hearing and determination of charges against people accused of summary offences – that is to say, those offences that may legally be disposed of by magistrates sitting without a jury. Apart from the trial of summary offences, the function of Magistrates’ courts are to issue summonses and the conduct of preliminary inquiries to determine whether there is sufficient evidence to justify the committal of the accused for trial in a higher court.
The Crown Court
Trials on indictment (for a more serious offence) and sentencing of those committed for sentence from Magistrates’ Courts lie with the Crown Court. The Crown Court system was introduced by the Courts Act (1971). It concerns a single court that sits regularly at nearly 90 centers throughout England and Wales. A High Court judge, circuit judge or Recorder presides at all trials of the Crown Court with a jury.
A person by a Magistrates’ Courts may appeal to the Crown Court on a question of law fact or sentence. Appeals from the Crown Court, either against conviction or against sentence, are normally brought to the Court of Appeal (Criminal Division). From the Divisional Court and the Court of Appeal, further appeal lies to the House of Lords.
The Court of Appeal, the High Court and the Crown Court are together known as the Supreme Court of Judicature.
The House of Lords, in addition to being a part of the legislature, is the highest Court in the Land. It is the highest Court of Appeal in civil matters for the whole of the United Kingdom. In criminal cases it hears appeals from the Court of Appeal, from the Courts – Martial Appeal Court (the appeal court for military jurisdiction) and in certain cases direct from the Divisional Court of the Queen’s Bench Division. In its capacity as a court of appeal the House of Lords sits as an appellate committee. For this purpose it consists of the Lord Chancellor and the Lords of Appeal in Ordinary, the so-called Law Lords of whom there are not more than ten.
Finally the Judicial Committee of the Privy Council hears appeals from superior courts of the Channel Islands, the Isle of Man, some Commonwealth countries and a number of overseas territories.
