	Court of the Lord Lyon - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Court of the Lord Lyon, also known as the Lyon Court, is a standing court of law which regulates heraldry in Scotland.
		The Lyon Court is a public body, and the fees for grants of arms are paid to the Treasury.
		It is headed by the Lord Lyon King of Arms, who must be legally qualified, as he has criminal jurisdiction in heraldic matters, and the court is fully integrated into the Scottish legal system, including having a dedicated prosecutor, known in Scotland as a Procurator Fiscal.

		The Court of the Lord Lyon indeed reflects, not the curt severity of the Police Court or the Magisterial Bench, but rather the stately benevolence of distant days when our ancient Scottish laws were administered upon the "moot hill" of some old barony or thaneage.
		The Court of the Lord Lyon is situated in H.M. New Register House, its records (part of the National Records of Scotland) being entrusted to the Lyon Clerk.
		She joined the Court of the Lord Lyon in 1975 as a secretary and was appointed Lyon Clerk and Keeper of the Records in 1986.

		Lyon alleged in its complaint that the failure and refusal of Protection Mutual to pay the claim were vexatious and unreasonable such that Lyon is entitled to fees, costs, and penalties pursuant to the statute.
		However, the error Lyon assigns is that the jury's general verdict of $400,000 is against the manifest weight of the evidence, not that the trial court erred in rejecting a special verdict form in favor of a general verdict form.
		Lyon also contends that the jury's verdict is against the manifest weight of the evidence because Lyon proved fixed charges in excess of $2 million that are specifically covered in the definition of actual loss sustained.

		Lyon pronounced judgement as follows: 'The Lord Lyon King of Arms having taken the proof and beard Counsel for the parties thereon, Finds that the Petitioner has failed to prove user of arms or supporters previous to the passing of the Act,' concerning the privileges of the Office of Lyon King-at-Arms, '1672, cap.
		But although the Lyon Court is a statutory tribunal with undoubted jurisdiction on other matters, the Lyon's decision upon a submission of that kind would be the decision of an arbiter, and not the decision of one of the Courts of the realm.
		The Court of the Lyon is an inferior Court, and from inferior Courts there lies an appeal to the Court of Session, and final interlocutors of the Court of Session in civil matters are appealable to your Lordships' House.

	The Lord Lyon and his Jurisdiction
		Lyon's Court, being a court of law, is part of the Scottish judicial system.
		Lyon Court and the Armorial Noblesse of Scotland are thus a living survival of the old mediaeval realms, and accordingly of immense legal and social interest, perpetuating as they do the organisation and concepts of the old clan or family organisation of the kingdom."
		Lyon's decision is carefully worded, avoiding any mention of chiefship, and merely rejecting one petition (on sound genealogical ground) and allowing the other petitioner to offer proof of his claim.

	Scientology Obtains Full Religious Recognition From Lyon Appeals Court
		In a dramatic victory for the Church of Scientology in Europe, the Court of Appeal in Lyon, France, today ruled that Scientology is to be regarded as a religious community and that the sincerity of Scientologists’ religious beliefs is beyond question.
		The court held that under the French Constitution and the European Convention on Human Rights, Scientologists are fully entitled to freely proselytize, to practice their religion and engage in missionary work without governmental restriction.
		The Court acquitted nine Scientologists of criminal charges and canceled or suspended the sentences of all others, while stating that it is impossible to deny Scientologists the principle of religious freedom.

		This principle would also apply (though an opinion has not been sought from Lyon court for this) to children where the father is unknown since in such a situation the child would become part of the mother's family or clan and application could be made for suitably differenced arms of that family.
