Welcome to

The Civil Appellate High Court

The Civil Appellate High Court was established to expedite the hearing of civil appeals from the District Courts, previously heard by the Court of Appeal. This decentralization ensures that justice in civil disputes—ranging from land matters to contracts—is accessible and efficient.

We are committed to upholding the rights of citizens through a fair, impartial, and timely appellate process.
