Statute overview

About this statute

This article says the Organic Law sets out how courts are organized, how they function, and their jurisdiction. This article lists the ordinary courts and the specialised courts, and says an Organic Law may create other courts or abolish them. Primary Courts’ number, names, and territorial jurisdiction are set out in Annex 1, and the High Council of the Judiciary determines each court’s seat after consulting the relevant Sector Councils. The President of the Primary Court must distribute cases, manage the court’s administration, supervise court staff, and may exercise disciplinary powers over staff when they fail to perform effectively. The President of the Supreme Court appoints and removes the President and judges of the Primary Court, based on a decision of the Higher Council of the Judiciary.
