Prorogated Jurisdiction

Abstract

The purpose of adopting rules and regulation for the determination of courts’ jurisdiction is to categorize duties of courts on the basis of subject-matter of disputes, crime and so on. In civil procedure rules, jurisdiction is normally divided into subjective-matter, territorial and value jurisdictions. There are situations in which courts are given competence, for specific purposes, to deal with a dispute, even though they do not have the above-mentioned jurisdictions. This is called prorogation jurisdiction. This article aims to examine jurisdictional rules and prorogation jurisdiction cases
