| Abstract: | The Constitution of Malta provides for Superior and Inferior Courts; this is also the organisational distinction traditionally known to Maltese law. The Chief Justice and a number of other judges prescribed by law (at present eight) sit in the Superior Courts; magistrates sit in the Inferior Courts. Provision is made in the Constitution for safeguarding the independence of both judges and magistrates. The present judicial structure in Malta was basically established in 1814, replacing the older and rather complex system obtaining under the Order of Malta. [excerpt] |
