Magistrates Court (Pretoria) | Francis Baard St, Pretoria Central, Pretoria, 0002, Gauteng

Courts are formally constituted bodies through which legal disputes can be dealt with. They are an adjudication mechanism provided by the state. These legal disputes can be disputes between individuals or organisations such as companies, local authorities or government bodies. They may be disputes between states or between a state and a member of the public. There will also be times when a member of the public is unable to take advantage of their legal rights, and requires the state to enforce them on their behalf.
