Read on the case distribution regulations page where you can file cases and at which hearing location the Central Netherlands Court will handle your case. <\/p>\n\n<p>On January 1, 2013, the Central Netherlands Court was formed from the former courts of Utrecht and Zwolle-Lelystad (Lelystad location). It has jurisdiction to administer justice in the first instance within its district. This means that the court is the first instance to give a legal judgment on a case or conflict. After that, a party to the proceedings (for example, the convicted person or the Public Prosecution Service (om.nl)) can appeal to the Arnhem-Leeuwarden Court of Appeal. At the Central Netherlands Court, approximately 175 judges and 580 other employees work in permanent positions.    <\/p>\n\t\t<div data-elementor-type=\"container\" data-elementor-id=\"5133\" class=\"elementor elementor-5133 elementor-3217\" data-elementor-post-type=\"elementor_library\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-7c75811 e-flex e-con-boxed e-con e-parent\" data-id=\"7c75811\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-da89a16 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"da89a16\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p><span class=\"elementor-alert-title\"><strong>Our advice \/ tip<\/strong><br><\/span><span class=\"elementor-alert-description\">Never make a statement to anyone from the police before consulting with a lawyer: not as a suspect and not as a witness either. This also applies when the police officer is not sitting at a computer. The police may write down everything you say, even when you&#8217;re not in an official interrogation situation.  <\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Contact Details Central Netherlands Court<\/h2>\n\n<p><strong>Visiting Address Lelystad<\/strong><\/p>\n\n<p>Stationsplein 15<br\/>8232 DL Lelystad<\/p>\n\n<p>Tel: <a href=\"tel:088%20362%2000%2000\">088 362 00 00<\/a><\/p>\n\n<p><strong>Visiting Address Utrecht<\/strong><\/p>\n\n<p>Vrouwe Justitiaplein 1<br\/>3511 EX Utrecht<\/p>\n\n<p><strong>Visiting Address Almere<\/strong><\/p>\n\n<p>De Diagonaal 37<br\/>1315 XK Almere<\/p>\n\n<p><strong>Visiting Address Amersfoort<\/strong><\/p>\n\n<p>Stationsstraat 81<br\/>3811 MH Amersfoort<\/p>\n\n<p><strong>Opening Hours Central Desk<\/strong><\/p>\n\n<p>Monday-Friday: 8:30 AM-5:00 PM<\/p>\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.rechtspraak.nl\/Organisatie-en-contact\/Organisatie\/Rechtbanken\/Rechtbank-Midden-Nederland\/Paginas\/default.aspx\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">More info<\/a><\/p>\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"parent":7454,"menu_order":0,"template":"","class_list":["post-7550","info","type-info","status-publish","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.strafrechtadvocaten.nl\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/info\/7550","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.strafrechtadvocaten.nl\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/info"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.strafrechtadvocaten.nl\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/info"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/www.strafrechtadvocaten.nl\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/info\/7550\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":7551,"href":"https:\/\/www.strafrechtadvocaten.nl\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/info\/7550\/revisions\/7551"}],"up":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.strafrechtadvocaten.nl\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/info\/7454"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.strafrechtadvocaten.nl\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=7550"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
