Definition

• Court with jurisdiction over offences against service law which have been committed outside the British Islands by a civilian who is subject to service discipline, and which, if they had been committed in England and Wales, could be heard in a Magistrates' Court. Serious offences which, if committed in England and Wales, could only be tried by a Crown Court must be dealt with by the Court Martial.
