Supreme Court Of Appeal Of South Africa
The Supreme Court of Appeal (SCA) is an appellate court in South Africa; it is the highest appeal court except in constitutional matters, which are ultimately decided by the Constitutional Court. The SCA is subordinate to the Constitutional Court in all constitutional matters but exercises final jurisdiction in non-constitutional cases, and hence judges of the SCA tend to have expertise in much broader and wider fields of law such as intellectual property and property law whereas this is not a concern during the appointment of Judges to the Constitutional Court . The SCA is located in Bloemfontein, although it may hear cases elsewhere if the circumstances require it. Litigants need leave to appeal to the SCA either from the court that hears the matter or from the SCA itself on petition.
