| | Crown argued that because this Court did not enjoin it from operating its service station and the trial court had not entered an injunction prohibiting the operation, Crown was not illegally operating the station. | | | Crown is a large, sophisticated refining company, and it cannot contend that it thought the lack of an injunction somehow made lawful or otherwise authorized conduct this Court expressly said was unlawful. | | | Responding, Crown argues that the issuance of an injunction and the timing of its effective date were matters within the sound discretion of the trial court. |

| | The Crown Court is also the appeal court against convictions and sentences by magistrates. | | | When appealing against conviction, the Crown Court judge re-hears all the evidence that witnesses have already given in the lower court, but there is no jury. | | | This system was unable to cope with the growing number of criminal cases, and the Courts Act 1971 set up the Crown Court. |

| | The English Courts with original civil jurisdiction are: Magistrates' Courts, the County Courts and The High Court. | | | Thus the Crown Court is an inferior court of record, but by statute appeals from the Crown Court arising from trials on indictment go to the Court of Appeal. | | | Others may be tried either in the Crown Court or in the Magistrates' Court, but in the case of the latter cases, the Magistrates may commit the Defendant for sentence by the Crown Court. |

| | 02-1333 -- Crown Point LLC v. Inermountain Rural Electric Association -- 02/10/2003 |
| | However, because the state court found that plaintiff was collaterally estopped from raising its due process claims due to the federal court's dismissal on the merits, it did not have an opportunity to raise its federal claims in the state court proceedings prior to the state court's grant of immediate possession to Intermountain. | | | Crown Point moved for a temporary restraining order in the federal action requesting an injunction to prevent the state court case from proceeding. | | | Thus, Intermountain's arguments before the federal and state courts are internally inconsistent: Intermountain argued the case was unripe before the federal district court and then argued preclusion based on the federal district court's dismissal for unripeness before the state court. |
