The High Court of Justice was established in 1875 by the Supreme Court of Judicature Act 1873. The Act merged eight existing English courts  the Court of Chancery the Court of Kings Bench, the Court of Common Pleas the Court of Exchequer the High Court of Admiralty the Court of Probate the Court for Divorce and Matrimonial Causes, and the London Court of Bankruptcy  into a new Supreme Court of Judicature now known as the Senior Courts of England and Wales. The new Supreme Court was divided into the Court of Appeal, which exercised appellate jurisdiction, and the High Court which exercised original jurisdiction.
Originally the High Court consisted of five divisions the King Bench, Common Pleas Exchequer Chancery and Probate, Divorce and Admiralty divisions. In 1880, the Common Pleas and Exchequer divisions were abolished leaving three divisions. The Probate, Divorce and Admiralty Division was renamed to the Family Division by the Administration of Justice Act 1970, and its jurisdiction reorganised accordingly. The High Court is now organised into three divisions the Kings Bench Division the Chancery Division, and the Family Division. A list of hearings in the High Courts divisions is published daily.
