The Crown Court (Welsh: Llys y Goron) is the criminal court of first instance in England and Wales responsible for hearing all indictable offences, some either way offences and appeals of the decisions of magistrates' courts. It is one of three Senior Courts of England and Wales.[1]
The Crown Court sits in around 92 locations in England and Wales, divided into Circuits. When sitting in the City of London, it is known as the Central Criminal Court or "Old Bailey".[2]
The Crown Court is administered by HM Courts and Tribunals Service,[3] an executive agency of the Ministry of Justice.
