The Court of Appeal for Specialized Cases 3

Preface

According to the promulgation of the Civil Procedure Code
Amendment Act (No. 27) B.E. 2558 (2015) which has come into force

since November 8, 2015, the Supreme Court shall have the power to
consider whether cases submitted for the dika appeal to the Supreme
Court deserve the permission for the adjudication by the Supreme Court.
This results in the change of the appeal and dika appeal systems in

the Civil Procedure Code of Thailand from a right-based system to
a permission-based system. If the Supreme Court does not permit

the dika appeal, a judgment or an order rendered by the Court of Appeal

is final. As a result, the adjudication in the Court of Justice will truly be
effective and fair to all related people without any undue delay.

Since the appeal and dika appeal systems for ordinary civil
cases have already been changed, the appeal and dika appeal systems

applied in all specialized courts shall, therefore, be changed in order to

harmoniously organize the appeal and dika appeal systems nationwide.

Consequently, the Establishment of the Court of Appeal for Specialized
Cases Act B.E. 2558 (2015) was enacted to strengthen the adjudication

of specialized cases by judges with various expertise with expediency,

uniformity, and conform to the new appeal and dika appeal systems
for ordinary civil cases already amended by laws.

Thus, this book “The Court of Appeal for Specialized Cases”

is published as the introductory information for those interested in
the services of the court with the hope that this book will be beneficial
to all readers.
