Do the District Court and the High Court still exist?

Verified 14 August 2026 - Public Service / (Prime Minister), Ministry of Justice

Since 2020, the courts of first instance have been replaced by courts of law.

In the same city, the courts of first instance and the courts of first instance were amalgamated under the name of courts of law.

Magistrate courts located in cities without a High Court are now called local courts. These are chambers detached from the courts.

Warning  

The local court should not be confused with the proximity judge. The proximity judge no longer exists since 2017.
