About this statute

This provision says the law’s purpose is to determine the jurisdiction of courts. This provision lists the ordinary courts and the specialised courts. Courts determine jurisdiction over a case by the nature and value of the subject matter, except in criminal cases. Claims with multiple counts based on the same cause of action are combined to determine the competent court; counts based on different causes are heard separately according to their own value. For a complex debt, the court with jurisdiction is determined by the amount in dispute.
