Judges of the High Court, judges and captains of the insolvency and corporate courts are appointed by the King on the recommendation of the Judicial Appointments Commission from among qualified lawyers. The Lord Chancellor and all government ministers are required by law to “preserve the continued independence of the judiciary,”[17] and both Houses of Parliament have rules of procedure having a similar effect. Judges of the High Court may be removed before the statutory retirement age only by a procedure requiring the approval of both Houses of Parliament. At present, and unless otherwise specified in the list of daily cases, hearings in the Family Division of the High Court are conducted remotely. Accredited members of the press or legal bloggers who wish to attend a hearing remotely should email their request to rcj.familyhighcourt@justice.gov.uk who will forward your email data to the partners team. Applications may be submitted by e-mail the day before the hearing or, if possible, no later than 9.30 a.m. on the day of the hearing. Historically, the ultimate source of all justice in England has been the monarch. All judges judge on behalf of the monarch (so they have the royal coat of arms behind them) and prosecutions are usually conducted on behalf of the monarch.
Historically, local tycoons enforced the law in majestic courts and other ways. Inevitably, the judiciary was unequal and appeals were made directly to the monarch. The monarch`s roving representatives (whose main purpose was the collection of taxes) acted on behalf of the monarch to make the administration of justice more equitable.

Most proceedings before the High Court are heard by a single judge, but certain types of proceedings, particularly in the Kings`s Bench Division, are assigned to a divisional court – a bank with two or more judges. Exceptionally, the court may sit with a jury, but in practice usually only in cases of defamation or against the police. Litigants are usually represented by a lawyer, but may be represented by lawyers qualified to be heard, or they may act in person.

The King`s Bench Division has supervisory jurisdiction over the lower courts, and its administrative court is usually the appropriate forum before which the validity (but at least in principle not the merits) of official decisions can be challenged. In general, unless specific appeal procedures are provided, the validity of a decision of a minister, lower court, court, local authority or official body may be challenged by a person having a sufficient interest by judicial review before the Administrative Tribunal of the King`s Bench Division.
