KembaraXtra – Legal Terms – Mayor’s and City of London Court
The Mayor’s and City of London Court was created in 1922 through the merger of two earlier courts: the Mayor’s Court and the City of London Court.
The court exercised unlimited civil jurisdiction in matters arising within the City of London. It dealt with a wide variety of civil disputes connected to commercial and private legal matters within the area.
Under the Courts Act 1971, the court was abolished as part of wider reforms to the court system. However, the historical name has been preserved in relation to the county court serving the City of London.
Today, the court functions as an ordinary county court with the same jurisdiction and powers as other county courts in England and Wales.
