15 hours ago
About us
The County Court of Victoria is established pursuant to the County Court Act 1958. It has original and appellate jurisdiction and is the principal trial court in the State of Victoria. The Court hears over 11,000 criminal, common law and commercial cases each year. Since 1 January 2007, the County Court has enjoyed unlimited monetary jurisdiction in civil matters. Essentially the County Court has been given concurrent jurisdiction with the Supreme Court in all commercial litigation.
Subsequent to the abolition of the monetary limit, and the appointment of judges with commercial experience, the commercial work of the court has grown in both size and complexity, with over 2500 commercial initiations.
