The South African Supreme Court of Appeal is the South African court which has the final say on all matters, except those that involve the constitution. For example, all criminal appeal cases from the High Court end up in this court, unless the appeal relates to a point of constitutional law, in which case the Constitutional Court has the final say. Since 1999, when the Constitutional Court decided In Re Pharmaceutical Manufacturers (CCT 31/99), the SCA has been functionally subordinate to the Constitutional Court in nearly all matters.
The Supreme Court of Appeal used to be called The Appellate Division, as it only hears cases on appeal. Decisions of the Supreme Court of Appeal are binding on all courts of a lower order. The President of the Supreme Court of Appeal is the Honourable CT Howie and the Deputy President is the Honourable L Mpati. The Supreme Court of Appeal is located in Bloemfontein, South Africa.
