Court of Justice

What Court of Justice does

Court of Justice (ศาลยุติธรรม) is the judicial branch of the Royal Thai Government, established in 1882 and headquartered on Ratchadaphisek Road in Bangkok's Chatuchak District. It operates a nationwide network of trial courts, appellate courts (ศาลอุทธรณ์), and the Supreme Court (ศาลฎีกา) across all nine administrative regions of Thailand and all 77 provinces. The institution provides civil, criminal, administrative, family/youth, labor, tax, intellectual property, bankruptcy, and corruption adjudication, and operates specialized divisions including the Thai Arbitration Institute (TAI) for alternative dispute resolution. The Court of Justice is constitutionally the sole trial-level judicial authority in Thailand, with administrative support provided through the Office of the Judiciary (สำนักงานศาลยุติธรรม).

The Court's technology stack is a multi-system digital platform architecture supporting electronic court proceedings nationwide. Core systems include e-Filing (efiling3.coj.go.th) for electronic case submission, the Court Information Online System (CIOS) for case information and witness room services, e-Notice (enotice.coj.go.th) for electronic document delivery and hearing summons, case tracking, the Online Mediation Platform (mediation.coj.go.th) operating under Section 20/3 of the Civil Procedure Code, and the E-Arbitration platform (etai.coj.go.th) operated by the Thai Arbitration Institute. Additional digital services include the Electronic Library (library.coj.go.th), Supreme Court and first-instance judgment search databases, document validation, jurisdiction search, and internal administrative systems (Section 50 bis tax certificate printing, salary slip systems). Security is anchored by SSL 128-bit encryption for financial transactions and data transmission. Annual reports and audited financial statements are published each fiscal year ending September 30.

As a state institution, Court of Justice operates under annual government budget allocation and does not follow a commercial revenue model. No commercial pricing applies to core judicial functions; fee structures exist only for specific procedural services at the Thai Arbitration Institute. The customer base is the Thai public: litigants, defendants, witnesses, and legal representatives access services through physical courthouses, the e-Filing portal, CIOS, e-Notice, the Online Mediation platform, and the Arbitration Institute. Government and judicial administration staff use internal systems for case management, personnel administration, and strategic planning. There is no private ownership, equity structure, or commercial distribution channel; revenue mechanics are not applicable to this government institution.
