Information about Inner House
The Inner House is one of the two parts - the other being the Outer House - of the Scottish Court of Session, analogous to the Court of Appeal in England and Wales.
The Inner House is in essence the appeal court, though it has a small range of first instance business. It is divided into the First and the Second Divisions, of equal authority, and presided over by the Lord President and the Lord Justice Clerk respectively. Judges are appointed to the Divisions by the Secretary of State after consulting the Lord President and Lord Justice Clerk. Each division is made up of five Judges, but the quorum is three. Due to pressure of business an Extra Division of three judges sits frequently nowadays. The Divisions hear cases on appeal from the Outer House, the Sheriff Court and certain tribunals and other bodies. On occasion, if a case is particularly important or difficult, or if it is necessary to overrule a previous binding authority, a larger court of five or more Judges may be convened.
The Court is divided into two Divisions: the Civil Division and the Criminal Division.
