  • Judgements

    The Joint Court of Justice of the Netherlands Antilles and Aruba is responsible for the administration of justice in first instance and in appeal in the islands of the Netherlands Antilles and in Aruba. The Joint Court of Justice consists of a presiding judge and the other members and their substitutes. The members of the Joint Court of Justice deal, in first instance and in appeal, with civil cases, criminal cases, and cases of administrative law (among others, tax law).

    The Court in First Instance
    A case that is dealt with in court for the first time generally falls under the jurisdiction of the Court in First Instance, which is an organizational part of the Court of Appeal. Cases in first instance are generally dealt with by one judge. The Court in First Instance of the Netherlands Antilles has its seat in Curacao and has jurisdiction in all the islands of the Netherlands Antilles. There are also sessions in all the islands. Besides this, there is a Court in first Instance for Aruba that is also part of the Court of Appeal.

    Cases in Appeal
    The Joint Court of Justice of the Netherlands Antilles and Aruba handles cases in appeal that were dealt with and decided on by the Courts in First Instance. A judge who handled a case in first instance will not participate when the case is dealt with in appeal. The cases in appeal are dealt with by three members of the Court. Those judges then make up the Joint Court of Justice of the Netherlands Antilles and Aruba. So, this name denotes both the whole of the judicial system of the Netherlands Antilles and Aruba (including the Courts in First Instance) as well as the higher court of appeal by itself (hereafter ‘the Court of Appeal’).There are some exceptional cases where the Court of Appeal also handles cases in first instance with more than one judge.

    Judicial tribunals
    The members of the Joint Court of Justice of the Netherlands Antilles and Aruba also work together in judicial tribunals, such as the Board of Appeal in the Arbitration Court for Civil Servants and the Board of Appeal in Tax Cases.
