    SCOPE: that courts and tribunals in Northern Ireland are administered by the Northern Ireland Courts and Tribunals Service under the Department of Justice. The department's own topic page, read directly. It is an administrative overview: it establishes who runs the courts and what a member of the public can do there, and it establishes nothing about the court hierarchy, jurisdiction or appeal routes, none of which is claimed here.
