Star Chamber prevod sa engleskog na srpski

Characterized by secrecy and often being irresponsibly arbitrary and oppressive

A former English court that became notorious for its arbitrary methods and severe punishments.
In English history, a civil and criminal court, named for the star-shaped ceiling decoration of the room in the Palace of Westminster, London, where its first meetings were held. Created in 1487 by Henry VII, the Star Chamber comprised some 20 or 30 judges. It was abolished 1641 by the Long Parliament.
The Star Chamber became notorious under Charles I for judgments favorable to the king and to Archbishop Laud (for example, the branding on both cheeks of William Prynne in 1637 for seditious libel). Under the Thatcher government 1979–90 the term was revived for private ministerial meetings at which disputes between the Treasury and high-spending departments were resolved.
