Background:

Currently, HM Courts and Tribunals Service is embarking on a period of significant change which will require strong leadership in this critical role, operating in a culture of openness and honesty.

Overview:

The County Court deals with the vast majority of civil (non-criminal) matters.

Unlike criminal cases - in which the state prosecutes an individual - civil court cases arise where an individual or a business believes their rights have been infringed.

Types of civil case dealt with in the County Court include:

Businesses trying to recover money they are owed
Individuals seeking compensation for injuries
Landowners seeking orders that will prevent trespass.

All County Court centres can deal with contract and tort (civil wrong) cases and recovery of land actions.

Some hearing centres can also deal with bankruptcy and insolvency matters, as well as cases relating to wills and trusts (equity and contested probate actions) where the value of the trust, fund or estate does not exceed £30,000, matters under the Equality Act 2010, and actions which all parties agree to have heard in a county court (e.g.

defamation cases).
