The Court is the oldest local civil court in England having sat
for over 700 years, virtually without a break, within the precincts
of the Guildhall. Today, the Court sits daily in its present
building which was erected in 1888. In 1971 it became part of the
general County Court system of England and Wales.
In May 2006 a Mediation Service - partly administered by the
City Disputes Panel - was introduced as part of the Court's case
management regime. It has an 88% success rate which is the highest
in the country.
The Court is situated in Guildhall Yard and the address is
