Court of Canterbury

Read a random definition: tacit acceptance

A quick definition of Court of Canterbury:

The Court of Canterbury is an ecclesiastical court responsible for hearing appeals from provincial diocesan courts in the province of Canterbury. It is also known as the Court of Arches and is presided over by a judge called the Dean of the Arches. The court's name comes from the fact that it was originally held in the Church of St. Mary-le-Bow, which has a steeple raised on stone pillars formed archwise like bent bows. The court's jurisdiction was important in dealing with testamentary cases in the Ecclesiastical Courts. Appeals from the Court of Arches were heard by the Pope until the break with Rome, after which 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.
