Volume 124, Issue 51A
Royal Gazette
5 September 2550
Note: The grounds for promulgation of this Act are as follows: Since the provisions of the Charter of the Courts of Justice prescribe that the courts of justice have territorial jurisdiction as designated by an act, the changing of the jurisdiction of those courts needs to be done through the enactment of an act, which takes a long time, does not catch up with the changing of administrative areas, and does not contribute favourably to the bringing of justice to the public. In order to enable the changing of the jurisdiction of courts of first instance in a flexible manner, it is appropriate to amend the Charter of the Courts of Justice by allowing the jurisdiction of courts of first instance to be changed by the enactment of royal decrees. It is therefore necessary to enact this Act.
