THE COURTS

The Courts in Cameroon are set up by a Law on judicial organization which divides Courts as follows: Traditional Law Court, High Court, Military Courts, Courts of Appeal, the State Security Court and the Supreme Court. The Traditional Law Court, High Court, Military Court are Courts of First Instance while the Appeal Court and the Supreme Court are Appellate Courts. The Administrative Bench of the Supreme Court has jurisdiction to hear administrative matters at First Instance. It is worth noting that as a general rule, the Supreme Court only determines appeals on point of law.
