The Judiciary

Where the courts sit.

Every place the Ministry of Justice’s court directory lists, group by group, exactly as it spells them. What each court is, and what it may hear, is on Courts and jurisdiction.

    The lists, as the source heads them

    In the order the source prints them. The section number is where a list is found in the document, not a ranking. Select a heading to open its places — in all.

    Circuit Magistrate’s Courts

    This is the one part of this page confirmed against the page image, on 7 October 2026. The Judicial Zone column uses merged cells, which the text layer places wrongly; these rows were read from the page itself.

    Each circuit, the Magistrate’s Court that holds it, and the judicial zone it sits in.

    Spellings recorded

    Where a place is spelled more than one way, every spelling is kept. The name at the head of each card is a label for grouping them, never a correction.

    Gaps in the source

    What the document does not contain, and what this page therefore does not say.

    Sources that disagree

    Recorded as they stand and left open. Nothing here is resolved by choosing a side.

    Sources

    In order of authority: A, then B, then C. Only A is official and only A is the value of record. B and C are cross-checks: neither overrides A, and neither supplies anything A does not already have. Every source this site relies on is listed on the Sources page.
