Court of Jurisdictional Disputes
The Court of Jurisdictional Disputes is vested with the
authority to settle with finality all disputes as to who
has jurisdiction for trial among the justice, the Administrative
or the Military Courts.
The Court is made up from the members of the Court of Appeals,
the Council of State, the Military Court of Appeals, and
the Military Administrative Court of Appeals. The Chief
Judge of this Court is selected from among the members of
the Constitutional Court.
The members of the Court are elected by the Supreme Council
of Judges and Public Prosecutors from among the candidates
nominated by the Court of Appeals and the Council of State.
On the other hand, the President selects the members nominated
to the Court by the Military Court of Appeals and the Military
Administrative Court of Appeals.
According to the 1982 Constitution should there be disagreement
as to who has jurisdiction between any of the other Courts
and the Constitutional Court, then the ruling rendered by
the Constitutional Court will take precedence over the ruling
of the other courts.
