Supreme Court of Disparu



The Supreme Court of Disparu (French: Cour suprême du Disparu) is the highest court in Disparu and is the final court of appeal in the justice system. The court grants permission to between 40 and 75 litigants each year to appeal decisions rendered by provincial and territorial appellate courts. The Supreme Court also handles cases that the Provincial Courts were unable to handle, or cases that concern the entire nation. It also handles disputes and misinterpretations of the Constitution of Disparu (also known as the Bill of Federation).

The Supreme Court consists of nine judges: eight Puisne Justices and the Judicial Triumvir. The Puisne Justices are appointed by the Executive Council on the advice of the Judicial Triumvir, but the decision can be overrode by either of the legislative houses via a simple majority vote.

Like the Judicial Triumvir, each Puisne Justice serves a term of four years, and can be appointed as a Puisne Justice for up to three terms.
