Frequently Asked Questions
What types of cases are heard in local courts?
Local courts handle a wide range of cases, including minor criminal offences, traffic violations, small claims disputes and domestic violence orders.

Depending on the nature of the matter, penalties or resolutions vary, so understanding the process is essential.

What penalties can be issued in local court?
Penalties depend on the case and can range from fines and community service to probation or imprisonment for more serious offences.
