Which is the lowest court in HK?

• A. High Court
• B. District Court
• C. Magistrates' Courts
• D. Court of Final Appeal

Answer: (C)

The question tests understanding of Hong Kong’s court hierarchy and which level sits at the bottom. Magistrates' Courts are the lowest tier, handling the smallest-scale criminal offenses and civil claims with limited value. They act as the entry point to the judicial system, with more serious or higher-value cases moving up to the District Court, then the High Court, and finally the Court of Appeal and Court of Final Appeal at the top. So the lowest court is the Magistrates' Courts because of its limited jurisdiction and position at the base of the hierarchy.
