Guess the concept of the following definitions.
1. A municipal court that, in accordance with international law, deals with questions relating prize, i.e. ships, aircraft, or goods captured during wartime at sea or in port by the naval or air forces of a belligerent power.
2. A body, headed by the President of the Council, that formerly advised the Crown on government policy but has been superseded in that role by the Cabinet. Its functions are now mainly formal, but it has limited statutory powers of legislation and it also advises the sovereign, through committees, on certain judicial matters and other matters of a nonpolitical nature.
3. Any of the civil courts forming a system covering all of England and Wales, the area covered by each court does not invariably correspond to the local government county boundary.
4. The court that hears appeals from the Court Martial; it is mostly made up of judges from the civilian Court of Appeal for England and Wales. Further appeal lies to the Supreme Court of the United Kingdom.
5. A system of courts, held by authority of the Crown, whose wearer is the Supreme Governor of the Church of England. The courts have jurisdiction over matters dealing with the rights and obligations of church members, now limited to controversies in areas of church property and ecclesiastical disciplinary proceedings. These courts, unlike common law courts, are based upon and operate along civil law procedures and Canon law-based jurisprudence.
6. A court having jurisdiction to review the law as applied to a prior determination of the same case.
