Supreme Court of Appeal

The Supreme Court of Appeal is the highest court for non-constitutional matters, primarily reviewing decisions from lower courts to ensure the correct application of law. Its role is to interpret laws consistently and ensure justice is properly administered. The court does not serve as a trial court; instead, it considers legal errors or issues of law in cases that have already been decided. Its rulings set legal precedents, guiding lower courts and the legal system, and are generally final unless a constitutional issue is involved.
