The Courts of Appeal
There are three Courts of Appeal in the Principality: one in Sofia, one in Plovdiv, and one in Roustchouk. These courts form the second level in the judiciary system. Their main function is to review cases that have been decided by the Departmental Courts.
The decisions of the Courts of Appeal are generally final. They can only be challenged through a recourse to the Supreme Appellate Court, which ensures that legal procedures and interpretations remain consistent across the country.
The Supreme Appellate Court
The Supreme Appellate Court is the highest judicial authority in the Principality. Its seat is in Sofia, and it is composed of two civil chambers and one criminal chamber.
When examining appeals, the Supreme Court does not reconsider the facts of the case. Instead, its main role is to ensure the correct and uniform application of the law by all lower courts
