Supreme Court of the Irish Free State

It was created in Article 64 of the Irish Free State Constitution.

[1] Though the Irish Free State and its constitution were abolished with the commencement of a new constitution, the Constitution of Ireland[2] on 29 December 1937, the Free State Supreme Court continued in existence as the provisional supreme court of the new state until 1961 when the new Supreme Court of Ireland, which had been created in 1937, was formally brought into being.

The Supreme Court of the Irish Free State met in two locations during its existence.

Until 1931, while its headquarters, which had been destroyed during the Irish Civil War was being rebuilt, it met in St. Patrick's Hall in Dublin Castle.

Until 1933, there was a right of appeal to the Judicial Committee of the Privy Council in London.
