I present to you England and Wales' mess. Until 2006 we had no supreme court and the final court of appeal was a committee of the house of lords (i.e. the legislature).

A very complex chart showing the courts of England and wales, with two sets of criminal trial courts, tribunals and county courts for civil cases, and 3 layers of appeals courts all with subdivisions and some being skipped by criminal cases.

Oh and the UK supreme court only has jurisdiction for appeals in scotland for civil cases, and criminal questions specifically about human rights, but not generally over criminal cases in Scotland. Really consistent!
