History
The Supreme Court of the Northern Cape was established by Proclamation 70 dated 27 October 1871. It was officially known as the Supreme Court of Griqualand West. The law to be applied by this Court was the law of the Cape Colony, adapted to suit local conditions. In 1910, the Supreme Court of Griqualand West became the Griqualand West Local Division. This local division had the distinct power to hear appeals from lower courts and was the only division which had a circuit court.
