Types of cases heard in each court

[Olivia Shamoon]

What types of cases are heard in the:
- Supreme Court ?
- County Court ?
- Magistrates' Court ?

I've noticed sometimes they ask us to identify where a case will be likely be heard.

Criminal and Civil

•Criminal Jurisdiction: Magistrates Court- Summary offences. Does not hear indictable offence unless heard summarily
Supreme Court- Hears the most serious indictable offences
County court- Almost all summary and indictable offences , except murder and attempted murder and treason.
•Civil dispute:
Magistrate: Up to $100,000 for all civil matter.
County court: Unlimited
Supreme court: unlimited however for court of appeal no original jurisdiction

County court- Almost all summary and indictable offences , except murder and attempted murder and treason.

To correct you, all summary offences are heard in the Magistrates' Court and never in the County Court unless appealed.

Thanks for the help guys

I also suggest including that the Magistrates' Court hears Committal Hearings and Bail hearings.
