Illustration for Senior Courts Act 2016

The High Court has a special stamp called a seal. You know the Registrar is in charge of this seal. The seal is used to stamp important papers like judgments and orders from the court. The seal is used for documents that need to be stamped. This includes judgments, orders, and certificates from the court. You can find more information about this by looking at the law from 1986.
