​KembaraXtra – Legal Terms – Nominated Court


A nominated court is a court designated to take evidence on behalf of a foreign court.


This usually occurs where legal proceedings are taking place in another country but evidence or witness testimony needs to be obtained within the jurisdiction of the nominated court.


The nominated court assists the foreign proceedings by gathering and recording the required evidence according to the applicable legal procedures.


Such cooperation forms part of international judicial assistance between courts of different states.


The process helps ensure that evidence located abroad can still be properly used in legal proceedings.
