The Court of Claims in the United Kingdom was a special court established after the accession of a sovereign to judge the validity of the claims of persons to perform certain honorary services at the coronation.
The first recorded such court was held in 1377 before the lord high steward.
Since the time of Henry VII, commissioners were appointed in lieu, and the court thereafter consisted of a royal commission appointed under the Great Seal.
