District Court or Intermediate Court (ordinary civil)
Ordinary civil claims, including a landlord's action to cancel a lease or to recover possession of property from a tenant or occupier.
Why go here first
This is the ordinary civil forum. Which of the two courts, and up to what value, turns on the 'prescribed amount', which the Courts Act leaves to regulations that juris does not hold. juris therefore states no money limit here.
The provision
The Intermediate Court or a District Court shall have jurisdiction in any action by a landlord to obtain cancellation of a lease, with or without damages, or to recover possession of real property from a tenant or occupier, including an action where the value of the property exceeds the prescribed amount.
Also in the Act
not_for (section 105(1))
The jurisdiction of the Intermediate Court or a District Court shall not be ousted if, in order to adjudicate upon a claim within its jurisdiction, it has to decide upon a right to or contract concerning money or property exceeding the prescribed amount.
Time limit
This page is legal information, not legal advice. juris never predicts how a matter will be decided. Check the source before you rely on a passage.
