What is territorial jurisdiction?
Territorial jurisdiction determines which location of the competent court hears a case.
Key concepts and application
Depending on the matter, relevant places may include a defendant’s residence, place of performance or property location. Some venue rules are mandatory, and not every forum agreement is valid.
Rights, procedure and limits
Do not confuse court type with court location. Check the special statute, parties and claim before filing. Timing of procedural objections may matter.
