The entry "Rulings can be enforced in both the County Courts and the High Court.[1]" is misleading. The article cited quotes the ministry of justice: 'In all arbitrations, decisions will be enforceable by the English courts if the requirements of the 1996 Arbitration Act are satisfied. If any decisions by these Tribunals were illegal or contrary to public policy under English law, they would not be enforceable.'. The existing entry suggests that English Courts would defer to Sharia court decisions, which is not the case. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 81.152.31.189 (talk) 00:31, 29 May 2013 (UTC)
Mutual Consent?
editI assume both sides must agree to going through the Muslim Arbitration Tribunal rather than the usual court process and that either party can bow out of this arbitration process at any time before a final ruling and/or appeal a decision of the Tribunal. If this isn't so, it should be noted in the article. Ileanadu (talk) 16:45, 14 August 2011 (UTC)
Political reaction - Grieve quotation
editI have deleted these comments on the Grieve quotation:
'Although he suggests an interesting difference in the practice of law between sharia and other legal systems, his contention falls at his mention of "British Law", because there is no such thing as "British Law". There are different laws in different countries within the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland. Dominic Grieve's comment "I would like to know which courts are enforcing them because I would consider such action unlawful" ought to be thought about, and discussed with respect to the laws of each country within the United Kingdom.'
I personally agree with the opinions given on what Grieve said, but I've checked the Wikipedia guidance on Neutral point of view, and it seems clear to me that the text I deleted gives unsourced opinions on the quotation - Wikipedia doesn't decide whether comments are 'interesting', or in which context they 'ought to be thought about'.
I know that there is no single legal system for the whole of Britain, but I think the statement that 'there is no such thing as British law' is arguable, rather than a statement of absolute fact, because each of the legal systems is based in a part of Britain. Laws made in Scotland, for example, can be described as British, even when they don't apply in England, because Scotland is still part of Britain. In the same way, a Scottish person can still be described as British.

Deletion
editThe vast majority of citations are dead links. The remaining few don't offer much in the way of information, one of which is just stating there's a petition to remove these tribunals. Tastybaldeagle (talk) 14:34, 13 January 2019 (UTC)
