Singapore Sessions Court

The Singapore Sessions Court is a part of the judicial system that handles medium-level criminal cases and civil disputes involving smaller sums of money. It functions as a court of first instance, where charges such as theft, assault, or drug offenses are initially tried. The court also handles some civil cases with claims up to a certain monetary limit. It is presided over by a district judge or a senior magistrate. The Sessions Court offers a more accessible and efficient forum for resolving cases that do not require the resources of higher courts, ensuring timely justice.
