		Thus, for instance, in the Austro-Hungarian Empire the ecclesiastical court of Prague is the court of appeal for the Archdioceses of Vienna and Salzburg; for Prague it is Ohmütz; for Olmütz, Vienna.
		With regard to the ancient ecclesiastical discipline it is worthy of remark that in former times an appeal was allowed from the tribunal of the metropolitan to that of the primate or patriarch.
		Where appeals are possible, the courts are said to be subordinate one to the other, and are so in fact; hence, for instance, a metropolitan court can, by a genuine order or mandate, require such data from the inferior court as may seem to it necessary for a proper cognizance of the case.

	Definition of Ecclesiastical court
		Catholic courts are governed by the Code of Canon Law in the case of the Western Church (Latin or Roman Rite), and the Code of Canons of the Oriental Churches in the case of the Eastern Church (Byzantine, Ukrainian, Maronite, Melkite, etc., Rites).
		Based on the same Roman civil law that is behind much European law (rather than the British Common Law that is the basis of American law), the procedure of a canonical court is more akin to an inquest, with the judges leading the investigation.
		It is a lawyer's court: it resolves disputes between congregations over jurisdiction, handles complaints of coruption against judges of the Rota, and certain other highly specialized matters, and so rarely has contact with typical ecclesiastical cases (like marriage annulments).
