Courts of the United Kingdom

People like you are child sponsors
The United Kingdom does not have a single unified judicial system - England and Wales have one system, Scotland another, and Northern Ireland another.

One exception to this rule is the area of immigration law, the Immigration Appellate Authority's jurisdiction cover the whole of the United Kingdom.

See Courts of England and Wales, Courts of Scotland, and Courts of Northern Ireland.
