History
HISTORY OF TAIWAN TAICHUNG DISTRICT COURT
1. Establishment and Taking over
This court was called “The Taichung District Court”, set up in Japan occupied time (1896 AD). It was located at the current site – 91 Section 1, Tzu Yu Road, Taichung City. After Taiwan restoration, Taiwan High Court appointed Mr. Wei-yueh JAO, a judge of Taiwan domicile (namely the judge in Japan occupied time) to act as the deputy of court president in charge of the taking over affairs. The taking over was completed on December 17, 1945 (the 34th year of the Republic of China), then the court was renamed as Taiwan Taichung District Court.。
At the early stage of taking over, all the Taiwanese employees including the clerk Mr. Zen-ho WEN, total 13, were retained, and continuously provided with the posts. As to the Japanese employees including Mr. Hiraoka Kamekichi, total 12, were temporarily retained their posts in name of section chiefs so as to give assistance to the work. They worked till March 28, 1946 (the 35th year), then all of these Japanese employees were sent back to Japan by our government.
2. Subordinate and Jurisdiction
Taiwan Taichung District Court is subordinate to Taiwan High Court. Its jurisdiction covered the whole Taichung State in Japan occupied time. In 1945 (the 34th year) Taiwan was restored. Our government adjusted Taichung State as Taichung City, Changhwa City and Taichung Hsien. On October 15, 1950 (the 39th year) it was readjusted as Taichung City, Taichung Hsien, Changhwa Hsien and Nantou Hsien. There were total 68 administration areas of Shiang, Chen, City and Chu. The land area is 7,832.9429 square kilometers. There are about 2,596,000 residents.。
For the requirement and convenience of the litigants of Changhwa residents, we set up Changhwa Branch Court on January 22, 1960 (the 49th year) at Yuen Lin Chen, Changhwa Hsien under the jurisdiction of Changhwa Hsien. This branch court is in charge of the 1st trial of civil cases, conciliation of civil cases, execution of civil cases and non-contentious affair, but the criminal cases were still examined in our court. As the cases were increasing, we set up Taiwan Changhwa District Court at the original site of Changhwa branch court on October 14, 1968 (the 57th year). Since then our jurisdiction are only in Taichugn City, Taichung Hsien and Nantou Hsien.
In order to coordinate with the enforcement of Law of Maintaining Social Order, and entertain the simple civil and criminal cases of the 1st trial, on July 1, 1991 (the 80th year) we set up a summary court in Feng Yuen, Ching Shui, Nantou, Puli and Taichung, and also set up a common court in Feng Yuen, Nantou and Taichung to entertain the interlocutory appeal lodged by the people who is against the verdict made by the summary court on violation of Law of Maintaining Society Order.
Taiwan Provincial Government was moved to Chung Hsing New Village in Hantou Hsien in August 1957 (the 46th year). Thus, the business and society of Nantou became prosperous. As the days passed by, various cases were increasing. To relieve Nantou residents of their travel toiling to Taichung for lawsuit, on July 1, 1994 (the 83th year) we set up Taiwan Nantou District Court at 759 Chung Hsing Road, Nantou City (just opposite to Nantou Hsien Government). Because of the establishment of Taiwan Nantou District Court, our juridical areas are limited to Taichung City and Taichung Hsien only.
