Tribunal de Grande Instance

The Tribunal de Grande Instance (TGI) is a French court that handles serious civil and criminal cases. It's part of the judiciary system in France, dealing with matters such as family law, property disputes, and significant criminal offenses. The TGI has the authority to adjudicate cases involving larger sums of money or more complicated issues than lower courts. Each region in France has a TGI, which serves as an important venue for legal matters, ensuring that citizens have access to justice in more complex cases. Its decisions can often be appealed to higher courts.
