Jurisdiction Depends on Location
The article details the provisions of the new Code of Criminal Procedure regarding the jurisdiction of courts in criminal cases. Article 212 generally defines the jurisdiction of the petty court for misdemeanors, while Article 213 grants the Court of Urgencies (Gonaiyat) authority to decide on felonies and crimes related to publishing. The law also regulates rules for determining territorial jurisdiction, whereby cases are heard in the location where the crime occurred, or where the accused resides, or where they were arrested. It also considers the place where the criminal acts are initiated or continued in the case of ongoing crimes, as well as the sites of successive actions for regular crimes. In cases of external crimes committed by non-residents who have not been apprehended within Egypt, the lawsuit is filed before the Court of Urgencies (Gonaiyat) or the Abdeen Petit Court, depending on the type of crime.
