English Legal System: Concurrent Jurisdiction
In the context of the English law, A Dictionary of Law provides the following legal concept of Concurrent Jurisdiction: That part of the jurisdiction of the *Court of Chancery before the Judicature Acts 1873-75 that was enforced equally in the common law courts; equity usually took jurisdiction because the common law remedies were inadequate. Since the Judicature Acts the jurisdiction of all divisions of the High Court has been concurrent in name, but certain remedies (for example, specific performance and injunction) are more commonly sought in the Chancery Division.
Compare exclusive jurisdiction.
