They also handle criminal cases with imprisonment penalties of up to five years.

The Assize Courts have unlimited jurisdiction over any criminal case, typically dealing with offenses punishable by more than five years of imprisonment.

The Rent Control Court handles cases related to tenancy and rent issues, while the Labor Disputes Court exclusively deals with employment-related disputes.

There are three Family Courts: one for Nicosia and Kyrenia, one for Limassol and Paphos and one for Larnaca and Famagusta which decide in divorce, child custody and real estate matters.

There are three Industrial Disputes Tribunals, based in Nicosia, Larnaca and Limassol, which have jurisdiction over employment matters.
