Judicial system

Courts protect the legal order of the Republic of Croatia as established by the Constitution and law, and provide for the uniform application of law and equal justice for all.[2]

Administration of justice in the Republic of Croatia is carried out by:

  • municipal courts,
  • county courts,
  • commercial courts,
  • administrative courts,
  • the High Commercial Court of the Republic of Croatia,
  • the High Administrative Court of the Republic of Croatia
  • the High Misdemeanour Court of the Republic of Croatia,
  • the High Criminal Court of the Republic of Croatia and
  • the Supreme Court of the Republic of Croatia.

N.B. Since July 2018 (effective as of 1 January 2019) former misdemeanour courts have become specialized sections within municipal courts (2 misdemeanour courts - in Zagreb and in Split - have been retained as separate courts - the Municipal Misdemeanour Court in Zagreb and the Municipal Misdemeanour Court in Split), also former Municipal Court in Zagreb has been divided into three courts: the Municipal Civil Court in Zagreb, the Municipal Criminal Court in Zagreb and the Municipal Labour Court in Zagreb.
