 for outer towns, are—

municipal courts;

provincial courts.

Any of the Supreme Court of Justice, appellate courts, and courts of first instance may be divided into divisions and each division may be given the power over any specific types of cases. This shall be effected by issuance of ministerial regulations.

When finding it appropriate, the Minister of Justice has the power to order a judge to participate in sittings with judges of a municipal court for a period of time specified in the order. In this event, the municipal court shall temporarily have the same powers as a provincial court with respect to cases under its territorial jurisdiction.

If any locality has no municipal court yet, the Minister of Justice, when finding it appropriate, has the power to order one or several judges of a provincial court to sit as a temporary court at the district administration office of such locality in order to try and adjudicate upon cases which occur in that locality and which, if without [such a temporary court], would come under the power of a municipal court or provincial court.
