Upholding Justice and the Rule of Law
with Profound Experience & Integrity.

The Commercial High Court of Colombo is established according to the statute High Court of the Provinces (Special Provisions) Act No.10 of 1996. The designation of the Commercial High Court is specially designed to determine civil actions of special categories, which are commercial in nature. For administrative convenience, one of the Judges of the High Court of the Western Province sitting at Colombo was specially designated for this purpose. This led to the establishment of a separate Registry to facilitate the effective handling of cases related to commercial transactions.
