Resumen

This Act provides with respect to recognition and establishment of Community Courts and proceedings before such courts. A traditional authority of a traditional community may apply in writing to the Minister for the establishment of a community court in respect of the area of that traditional community, but only if no court has been recognized or established under this Act for that area. A community court shall be presided over by one or more Justices appointed by the Minister. A community court shall have jurisdiction to hear and determine any matter relating to a claim for compensation, restitution or any other claim recognized by the customary law. If a community court entertains any doubt as to the existence or content of a rule of customary law relevant to any proceedings, it may take action as prescribed to ascertain customary law. A party to any proceedings in a community court who is aggrieved by any order or decision of that community court may appeal to the magistrate’s court.
