The Courts Act 2003 (“the Act”) creates a new structure for magistrates' courts in England and Wales. It provides for a commission of the peace for the whole of England and Wales (section 7 of the Act) in place of the commission areas which are abolished with the repeal of the Justices'of the Peace Act 1997 (c. 25) (“the 1997 Act”) (sections 6(4) and 109(3) of, and Schedule 10 to, the Act).
