Which is right? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Gareth Owen ( talk • contribs) 10:17, 27 September 2002
The original poster was correct, even if he got the name of the court wrong. The constitution (art. 74) still says that disputes relating to federal vs state powers can only be appealed to the PC with the permission of the High Court. This was in the days when everything else could be appealed without the permission of the High Court. Not surprisingly, the High court has stated that it is highly unlikely (read - never going to) to give permission to take to London the very matters which the constitution designed to be decided in Australia.

I wonder why the Persons Case is given as an example of Canadian cases heard by the JCPC. There were many, many important Canadian cases which went all the way to London. Why single out this one? HistoryBA 02:55, 14 Oct 2004 (UTC)

Does the passage of the Constitutional Reform Act 2005 mean that this article is now out of date? -- Beland 23:03, 13 August 2005 (UTC)
Missing from the list of Caribbean countries from which the Privy Council can be reached at appeal? (Caribbean Court not enacted yet?)
[[Ponoka-Calmar Oils v Wakefield [1960] A.C. 18]] was the final case appealed before the Privy Council from Canada.This deserves an article in its own right. - ( 202.180.98.82 15:26, 20 September 2006 (UTC))
I have deleted "It replaced the Court of Delegates." There has never been a Court of Delegates in England or the UK. —Preceding unsigned comment added by EroticAcademic ( talk • contribs) 17:53, 23 July 2009 (UTC)
Excuse me, I think for 300 years from 25 Hen. VIII. c. 19 until 1832, the Court of Delegates was an English ecclesisastical (civil law) court of appeal from the Court of Arches. Jezza ( talk) 21:16, 20 November 2009 (UTC)
The article states: "The judicial system of the United Kingdom is unusual in having no single highest national court..."
That's not really so unusual. In federal nations, it's not unusual to have no single court of last resort. For example, in the United States, where the Supreme Court of the United States only has jurisdiction over matters of federal constitutional and federal statute law, but not pure questions of state law. Civil law countries often have divided court streams, with separate courts of last resort: France and Germany both have separate courts of last resort for regular matters, constitutional matters, and administrative matters.

There is a template for an info-box for articles about court cases: Template:Infobox court case. One of the fields is for an image to represent the court.
Currently, all of the British courts use an elaborate version of the Royal Arms: Template:Infobox court case/images.
Since the JCPC uses a less elaborate version of the Arms, as indicated on this page, I've suggested in the Talkpage for the images that the same image should be used for the court case infobox: Template talk:Infobox court case
If anyone wants to join the discussion at Template talk:Infobox court case, please do so. Mr Serjeant Buzfuz ( talk) 14:40, 13 October 2012 (UTC)
I have been sent a copy of the Constitution of Saint Lucia (Amendment) Act, 2023 (No. 2 of 2023) by the National Printing Corporation. ( Text of the Bill) The Act was passed in the House of Assembly on 28 Feb, passed in the Senate on 2 Mar, assented to on 8 Mar and gazetted on 9 Mar. Is is sufficient to say that the CCJ is now Saint Lucia's final court of appeal? Mike Rohsopht ( talk) 00:27, 6 April 2023 (UTC)
