Historical Irish Courts Expained
Until the year 1877, when the English Judicature Act for Ireland (40 & 41 Vict., c. 57) was passed, Ireland had the following courts:
- Queen’s Bench,
- Exchequer,
- Exchequer Chamber,
- Court for Crown Cases Reserved,
- Consolidated Chamber and Registry Appeals,
- Court of Chancery,
- Court of Appeal in Chancery,
- Rolls Court,
- Vice-Chancellor’s Court,
- Landed Estates Court,
- Court of Bankruptcy and Insolvency,
- Court of Admiralty,
- Court of Probate, and
- Ecclesiastical Courts.
By the Judicature Act, the Courts of Chancery, Queen’s Bench, Common Pleas, Exchequer, Probate, the Court for Matrimonial Causes and Matters, and the Landed Estates Court, were merged into a Supreme Court of Judicature for Ireland.
There was a High Court of Justice, with five divisions, and a Court of Appeal, as in England,
with appeal from the latter to the House of Lords; and law and equity were concurrently administered.
