Court of Cassation Clarifies Jurisdiction in Criminal Cases
Article 222 of the new Criminal Procedure Law, scheduled to be applied starting October 1, 2026, outlines the procedures for determining the competent authority to resolve disputes between investigative agencies and courts. It stipulates that the Appellate Misdemeanor Division shall decide disputes within a single lower court, while the Court of Cassation has jurisdiction over disputes between two different courts. Requests to determine the competent court are filed by the parties and must include a memorandum and supporting documents. During the consideration of this request, proceedings in the case are halted. The competent authority is determined after reviewing the memoranda and documents. The requester may also face rejection of the request and be fined up to 500 Egyptian pounds, excluding the Public Prosecution.
