    Does the Cheque Tribunal stop courts from hearing related cases?

    Yes, the Special Tribunal to Determine Cheque Disputes has exclusive jurisdiction over specific real property payment issues. Under Decree No. (56) of 2009, the Public Prosecution and the Courts are strictly prohibited from investigating or determining any dispute related to these cheques once they fall under the Tribunal's remit. Any ongoing court cases or complaints must cease immediately and be referred to the Tribunal for consideration. This prevents dual litigation and ensures that financial instrument disputes are handled by sector experts.
