Life in the UK Test 34
In England, Wales and Scotland, most minor criminal cases are dealt with in a Magistrates' Court.
Correct Answer: True
True. In England, Wales and Scotland, the vast majority of minor criminal cases are dealt with in a Magistrates' Court. Magistrates (also called Justices of the Peace) are unpaid members of the public who sit in panels to hear minor cases such as traffic offences, minor assaults and small thefts.
More serious crimes are passed up to a Crown Court, where a jury of 12 members of the public decides the verdict and a judge decides the sentence.
