Abstract
This chapter discusses the acts and trial of County Courts in the United Kingdom. The main features of the county court system are convenience of venue, simplicity of procedure, summary determination, andpossibly the most important from a litigant's point of view, moderation of expense. Between 1846 and 1888 a series of County Courts Acts found their way on to the statute books only to be repealed in due course, until in the latter year the County Courts Act, 1888, was enacted. That Act remained as the principal act and was in fact the main statutory pillar of present county court procedure until it was successively replaced first by the County Courts Act, 1934, then by the County Courts Act, 1959, each of which amended and consolidated the earlier acts. It is found that in addition to the judge who is allocated to it by the Lord Chancellor, each county court district has a registrar who is also appointed by the Lord Chancellor.
