Litigation refers to the dispute resolution process through the courts. Having been a British colony until 1960, the Cypriot legal system and rules relating to litigation are primarily based on the English legal system. The courts are divided into six types: District Courts (civil actions); Assize Courts (criminal cases); Family Courts; Rent Control Tribunals; Industrial Dispute Tribunals and Military Court. All are presided over by the Supreme Court which (amongst other duties) acts as an appellant court to hear the appeals from lower courts in civil and criminal matters.
