Commercial Court (Victoria)

The Commercial Court is a sub-division of the Trial Division of the Supreme Court of Victoria, the highest court of the State of Victoria. The Supreme Court has unlimited jurisdiction in criminal and civil matters.

The Commercial Court comprises a group of specialist judges who are available to deal promptly and efficiently with commercial disputes.

Any commercial proceeding or corporations case is suitable for entry into the Commercial Court, unless the case is more suited for entry into one of the other specialist lists in the Trial Division

A feature of Commercial Court practice is the readiness of the judges and associate judges to mould existing procedures to suit the particular case and to encourage the parties to adopt novel procedures where appropriate. The operation and procedures of the Commercial Court are set out in some detail in Practice Note 1 of 2010 and other Commercial Court notices to practitioners, which are available on the Commercial Court website.

Tribunal de commerce

In France, the tribunal de commerce (plural tribunaux de commerce, literally "commercial courts") are the oldest courts in the French judicial organization. They were creating at the end of the Middle Ages.

The commercial court has jurisdiction over commercial cases: disputes between merchants, disputes over commercial acts, controversies involving commercial corporations, and bankruptcy proceedings.

The judges of the commercial courts are not career judges but elected traders. They are elected for terms of two or four years by an electoral college made up of current and former judges of the commercial courts and traders’ delegates (délégués consulaires), who are themselves traders elected in the area within the jurisdiction of the court.

There are 135 commercial courts in France.
