The Judicial committee of Privy Council The committee is not a court. It only makes a report to the crown, advising that the appeal should either be allowed or disallowed as the case many be. Its dissenting judgments are not disclosed. Though it is not that much of importance now in UK, Privy council is the highest court of Appeal for some commonwealth countries like Australia, Malaysia, Sierra Leone.
The Privy Council is an advisory body which developed out of the old Curia Regis and the task of its judicial committee is to give the Queen advice, which is invariably followed, on petition made to her as the fountain of Justice by parties who have unsuccessfully exhausted the legal procedures in the national courts of commonwealth countries.
