Business court

Business courts, sometimes called commercial courts, are specialized courts for legal cases involving commercial law, internal business disputes, and other matters affecting businesses. At the trial court level they may primarily or exclusively adjudicate internal business disputes or commercial litigation between businesses, heard before specialist judges assigned to them, and their jurisdiction may be broader or narrower and vary between countries, extending in some cases to patent or admiralty matters. Business courts may be further specialized, including courts that decide technology disputes and those that hear appeals, and they have connections to alternative dispute resolution and arbitration.
