House of Lords in Civil Law - what is it?

Question

I need to explain what is House of Lords in Civil and Criminal Law. What is the difference?

Answer 1

The House of Lords is the final part of the Appeal process for both civil and criminal offences in the UK. It also passes, amends or defeats all the legislation made by the House of Commons. A bill goes to the House of Commons, is discussed, amended and then passed, it then goes to the House of Lords, they ahve the ability to amend, pass or throw out the bill. If they pass it, even if not amended, it has to go back to the commons again before going to the Queen for royal consent. The Commons can force a bill through without the Lords involvement, called useing the Parliament Act, and the House of Lords cannot amend or defeat the budget presented by the Chancellor, although they can discuss it. The european and world courts are the only ones that supercede them

Answer 2

House of Lords is in the hierachy of courts, as a number of courts make up the juridical system. In civil and criminal they are different, as you proberly know. But the House of Lords for criminal and the House of Lords for civil do the same procedures. Appeals get heard in these courts and after the appeals get heard in these courts, the decsion is final and cant be reversed.

Answer 3

House of Lords is the Highest Appeal court in the Country in both Civil Law and Criminal Law. I explained it in detail in one of hte other of your questions!!!

Its purpose is to scrutinise all laws passed through it by the House of Commons, and it has the power to delay a bill being made law if it doesnt think it is suitable
