Single<br />

Jurisdiction in<br />

<strong>Northern</strong><br />

<strong>Ireland</strong>.<br />

Background<br />

The <strong>Northern</strong> <strong>Ireland</strong> Courts and Tribunals Service public consultation<br />

"Redrawing the Map: A Consultation on Court Boundaries in <strong>Northern</strong><br />

<strong>Ireland</strong>” contained proposals to replace the current rigid statutory framework<br />

of court boundaries for County Courts and magistrates’ courts with a single<br />

jurisdiction within <strong>Northern</strong> <strong>Ireland</strong> underpinned by more flexible administrative<br />

arrangements. Stakeholders broadly welcomed the proposals.<br />

Single Jurisdiction reforms will be implemented on 31 October 2016. The<br />

legislation to give effect to the single jurisdiction is contained in Part 1 of the<br />

Justice Act (<strong>Northern</strong> <strong>Ireland</strong>) 2015. Under the new arrangements, the<br />

jurisdiction of county courts and magistrates courts will no longer be<br />

determined by reference to County Court Divisions and Petty Sessions<br />

Districts. Instead these courts will exercise jurisdiction throughout <strong>Northern</strong><br />

<strong>Ireland</strong>, similar to the way in which the Crown Court already operates.<br />

New Administrative Court Divisions<br />

The existing divisional structure will simultaneously be replaced with three new<br />

Administrative Court Divisions (ACDs). These Divisions will not define<br />

jurisdiction but rather will determine the area in which court business will<br />

‘usually’ be heard. The three ACDs are:-<br />

North Eastern Division<br />

South Eastern Division<br />

Western Division.<br />

A map illustrating the geographical make-up of these Divisions has been<br />

attached at Annex A.<br />

Page 1 of 20


Although the legislation provides that different ACDs may be created for<br />

different types of court business (e.g. police or Public Prosecution Service<br />

boundaries for criminal business; Health Trust boundaries for family business)<br />

there will in the first instance be one single configuration of ACDs based on<br />

combinations of the eleven Local Government Districts for <strong>Northern</strong> <strong>Ireland</strong>.<br />

This may change in the future following due consideration of the operational<br />

impact of a single configuration and its impact upon key service providers and<br />

users.<br />

The Listing Direction of the Lord Chief Justice<br />

The Lord Chief Justice has now completed a consultation exercise on his<br />

proposed listing direction to operate within a single jurisdiction. You can<br />

access the consultation document by visiting www.courtsni.gov.uk and<br />

clicking on “Lord Chief Justice Direction: Single Jurisdiction” in the “Key<br />

Matters” section. The court venues where cases will be listed will follow the<br />

final directions which will shortly be issued by the Lord Chief Justice for<br />

<strong>Northern</strong> <strong>Ireland</strong>, and will include how cases may transfer from one court<br />

venue to another.<br />

We do not envisage that the introduction of single jurisdiction will result a<br />

significant shift in business: the vast majority of business will continue to be<br />

routinely listed at the current location. However, the new arrangements will<br />

afford additional flexibility to list business in a different Division where the<br />

judge (or the Lord Chief Justice) determines that there is good reason to do<br />

so. The Office of the Lord Chief Justice will wish to monitor the impact of a<br />

single jurisdiction following commencement in October and the Lord Chief<br />

Justice may choose to further revise his Listing Direction. The introduction of<br />

bespoke arrangements for particular types of business (e.g. family business;<br />

weekend and public holiday courts; pilot court initiatives etc) is likely to be<br />

phased in.<br />

Administrative Court Division Guide<br />

To assist you in identifying the the appropriate ACD and venue for each court<br />

tier from 31 October 2016 we have created an ACD Guide for your<br />

convenience which is attached at Annex B. Each ACD is sub-divided into new<br />

local government district, district electoral area and ward and indicates the<br />

venue where the case may be listed for hearing by court tier. Listing court<br />

business is a judicial function and as such the Guide will always be subject to<br />

judicial discretion.<br />

In order to assist you identify where casework should be sent for processing<br />

from 31 October an enhanced ACD Guide will be made available on the<br />

NICTS website. To use the on-line guide you will need to enter the name of<br />

the ward within which the relevant address is situated. A link to the Planning<br />

Page 2 of 20


Office post code search tool will also be available should you first need to<br />

search for the ward in question. This can be done by entering the relevant<br />

postcode. However, it is anticipated that in the majority of cases business will<br />

continue to be listed at current court venues and therefore the impact of this<br />

change should be minimal<br />

Every effort has been made to ensure ACD’s mirror the new local government<br />

districts however there are a small number of exceptions where, for business<br />

reasons, it has not been practical to do so. Court users will be expected to<br />

satisfy themselves that the appropriate ACD has been selected in which to<br />

submit documentation from 31 October 2016. However single jurisdiction<br />

provides for the transfer of business between divisions and the Listing<br />

Direction sets out the criteria to do so.<br />

Please note there are transitional and saving provisions within the legislation<br />

which mean that the changes will not invalidate any proceedings which are<br />

already commenced or ongoing when the new arrangements come into<br />

operation. In the short term where errors are made NICTS staff will endeavour<br />

to forward documentation to the correct court venue.<br />

What impact will Single Jurisdiction have?<br />

There will no longer be County Court Divisions or Petty Sessions Districts and<br />

all relevant court documents have been amended to reflect this. The words<br />

“County Court Division of….” And “Petty Sessions District of……”will no longer<br />

appear on any court order or other documentation as court templates have<br />

been adapted. An example of what amended orders may look has been<br />

attached at Annex C for guidance purposes only. As such court users should<br />

also review such references on documents to be lodged in court and make the<br />

necessary adjustments. NICTS understand that the transition to a single<br />

jurisdiction will take time and as such documentation bearing references to<br />

county court divisions and petty sessions districts will continue to be accepted<br />

at this time.<br />

A large volume of legislation has also been amended to reflect the new<br />

provisions and will come into effect on 31 October also. There will continue to<br />

be Clerks of Petty Sessions and Chief Clerks whose designated authority will<br />

now extend to all Administrative Court Divisions.<br />
