The Supreme Court of Appeal

The Supreme Court of Appeal is in Bloemfontein in the Free State. Except for the Constitutional Court, this is the highest court in South Africa. It only hears APPEALS from the high courts. All cases in the Supreme Court of Appeal are heard by three or five judges.

Except for the Constitutional Court, no other court can change a judgment of the Supreme Court of Appeal. Only the Supreme Court of Appeal can change one of its own decisions.
