In Bloomsbury, King's Cross, Clerkenwell, and Farrington, at the intersection of these areas in London, surrounded by cultural and academic institutions such as the University of London, King's College, Gray's Inn, and the British Museum, there is a place called Chancery Lane.
As the name suggests, this name alone signifies the authoritative status of this area within the entire British legal realm.
It not only boasts numerous well-known London law firms but also serves as the headquarters of the British Bar Association; of course, most importantly, it represents the seat of the Court of Chancery, that is, the equity court.
Since officially establishing the status of the equity court in the 15th century, except for exceptional cases such as treason and peerage trials, the Court of Chancery had served as Britain's supreme appellate court, exercising its final ruling powers.
