Supreme Court of Seychelles

It was created in 1903 by Order in Council, when it consisted of one judge who was the Chief Justice of the Court.

Appeal cases with final judgments of the court in civil matters were transferred to the Supreme Court of Mauritius.

[1] When Seychelles became a Republic in 1976, a new Seychelles Court of Appeal was constituted which consisted of a President, two Justices of Appeal and the Judges of the Supreme Court as ex-officio members.

In 1993, under the new constitution, the judicial power of Seychelles is vested in the Supreme Court, a Court of Appeal, and such subordinate courts or tribunals that may be established by legislature.

The Attorney-General and the judges of the Supreme Court are appointed by the President from a list of candidates prepared by the Constitutional Appointments Authority.
