Appellate Courts
The Royal Court is the principal court in the jurisdiction. There are three full time judges of the Royal Court,
the Bailiff, Deputy Bailiff and the Master. The Bailiff and Deputy Bailiff are the main trial/substantive hearing
judges. The Bailiff has constitutional functions in addition to his judicial role, and so it
is the Deputy Bailiff who hears a larger number of the cases which come before the Royal Court for determination.
