The Circuit Court of Ireland, in Irish An Chúirt Chuarda, is an intermediate level court of local and limited jurisdiction that hears both civil and criminal matters. On the criminal side it hears matters tried on indictment before a judge and jury, except for certain serious crimes that go to the Central Criminal Court or the Special Criminal Court. On the civil side it has a considerable parallel jurisdiction with the High Court, including equitable remedies, but normally cannot award damages of more than 75,000 euro. It also hears de novo appeals from the District Court in civil and criminal matters, and it is organised into eight circuits, each covering an ad hoc region of the state.
