What does the Queens Bench Division deal with?
The Queen’s Bench Division deals with the remaining business not handled by the Family Division or the Chancery Division- disputes about contracts or torts or land. The Queen’s Bench Division has some specialist sub-Divisions, including a Commercial Court (dealing with large and complex business disputes; there were about 200 in 1995), a Crown Office List (dealing with actions against public authorities – about 4,000) and an Admiralty Court (shipping matters – about 500).
