Arches Court of Canterbury

Read a random definition: curfew

A quick definition of Arches Court of Canterbury:

The Arches Court of Canterbury is a type of court that deals with appeals from other church courts in the province of Canterbury. It used to be overseen by the Pope, but now certain appeals are heard by the Judicial Committee of the Privy Council. The court gets its name from the fact that it was originally held in a church with a steeple that looked like a bent bow.

A more thorough explanation:

The Arches Court of Canterbury is an ecclesiastical court in the province of Canterbury. It is responsible for hearing appeals from provincial diocesan courts. The court is also known as the Court of Arches or the Court of the Official Principal.

The court was originally held in the Church of St. Mary-le-Bow, which had a steeple raised on stone pillars formed archwise like bent bows. This is where the court gets its name from.

Before the break with Rome, the Pope heard appeals from the Court of Arches. After the break, the appellate jurisdiction was transferred to the Court of Delegates. Today, the Judicial Committee of the Privy Council hears certain appeals from the Court of Arches.

For example, if someone is unhappy with a decision made by a diocesan court in the province of Canterbury, they can appeal to the Arches Court of Canterbury. The court will then review the case and make a decision on whether the original decision was correct or not.

It is shitty that was a pattern of behavior but I am glad someone is finally standing up for themselves. Like I can be a pretty rigid butthole guy when it comes to getting stuff but a complete lack of empathy or situational awareness shown by the school and their staff is mind blowing. When I was talking about it in the office they all thought I was lying cause it sounds so crazy.

Idk if any of you watch UFC but one time interim heavyweight champ Tom Aspinall won a fight and said on the mic afterwards “if you feel scared to do something, that’s a pretty good sign you should just go fucking do it” and I believe that applies very much to people wondering if they should R&R. Sure you can but why not just see what happens now?
