King's Great Sessions in Wales

Read a random definition: vexatious

A quick definition of King's Great Sessions in Wales:

The King's Great Sessions in Wales was a court system established in 1543 in Wales that had the same jurisdiction as the English assizes. It followed English law but did not have to follow English case precedent. The court system operated alongside the English courts and had justices who were knowledgeable in the laws of the realm. The Great Sessions were abolished in 1830, and England and Wales became one unified jurisdiction.

A more thorough explanation:

The King's Great Sessions in Wales was a common-law court established in 1543 in Wales. It had the same jurisdiction as the English assizes, but it was bound to follow English law, not necessarily English case precedent. The court was also known as the Court of Great Sessions in Wales.

For example, the Court of Great Sessions in Wales operated alongside the English courts and had the same jurisdiction in Wales as the King's Bench and Common Pleas had in England. However, it was not required to follow English case precedent.

In 1830, the Great Sessions were abolished, and England and Wales became one unified jurisdiction with the addition of two extra circuits to the English assize system.

There’s someone I found on here with the username threeoutchange and if my understanding is correct that’s a reference to the debut album by a pretty cool 90s-00s Japanese band called Supercar. I geeked a little
