  Court Life
Court was wherever the Queen happened to be and was made up of all those who surrounded the Queen from servants to the courtiers themselves.
However, being lodged at court was an honour and the Spanish Ambassador, Count de Feria, was not at all pleased that he had to lodge in city dwellings rather than at the court as he had done in Mary's reign.
When the court was not in residence, the Palace would be cared for by a Keeper and resident staff and they were expected to have things ready so that the Queen and her court could arrive at a moments notice.

 Honour - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Honor (or honour) is the concept of a direct relation between one's virtues (or "values") and their status within society.
Honour is often seen as a relativistic concept, as conflicts between individuals and even cultures may arise as a consequence of material circumstance and ambition, rather than due to fundamental differences in principle.
Traces of the importance attached to honor linger in the military (officers may conduct a court of honor) and in organisations with military echoes, such as Scouting.

 Queensland Courts - Role of the Courts (District Court)
The District Court handles indictable criminal offences (those that require a jury to determine guilt or innocence), such as break and enter and assault.
Among the court personnel are: a judge's associate (who performs administrative tasks in the court especially for the judge); the bailiff (who is responsible for administering oaths to jurors and witnesses, announcing the beginning and end of court sessions etc.); and the court reporters (who are responsible for a verbatim transcript of the proceedings).
However, the judge can restrict public access to the court and media reporting of certain details of the trial (for example when children are involved).

 The World Courts of Women
A number of courts have been held around the world in the last decade, each usually focusing on a specific group of women or type of women abuse.

 Seravo and Electoral Commission v John Giheno [1998] PGSC 2; SC555 (21 January 1998)
This application was initially brought before the Deputy Chief Justice as a single judge of the Supreme Court.  His Honour ruled that there is no power in a single judge of the Supreme Court to hear the application (see Unreported Judgement of Kapi DCJ dated 15th January 1998, SC539).
19 of the Supreme Court Act regulates the exercise of discretion.  As the law presently stands, an applicant is required to satisfy the Court that “special” or “exceptional circumstances” exist before stay may be granted (see PNG v Gulf Provincial Government [1994] PNGLR 34).
Whether or not this is the proper test in such applications has been raised as an issue to be clarified in Independent State of Papua New Guinea and CIS v Daniel Mollen (Unreported Judgement of the Supreme Court dated 19th November 1996, SC513).  That involves the interpretation and application of s.

Mr Shiner, of Birmingham-based Public Interest Lawyers, was presented with his award for "personal sacrifice and professional dedication in fighting for justice and individual rights".
The government argued in court that it was not liable to hold an inquiry into the deaths and alleged torture because the European convention on human rights did not apply to British public authorities outside the territory of the UK.

The Patrol Leader is expected to represent the Scouts on the Court of Honour, the ‘committee’ through which the Patrol Leaders, with the guidance of the Troop Scouter, run the Troop.
The second factor (that of remembering the Scout’s point of view) is bound up with the first, since through the Patrol-in-Council (a meeting of the Patrol to plan its own affairs) and the Court of Honour, the Scout’s point of view must always be in the forefront.
The adult leader merely guides, but does not dictate, unless what is proposed by the Scouts is contrary to Scout policy or is likely to involve undue risks.
