Abstract

Although the topic of this research is of a great importance, it has not been examined neither in a critical nor in an analytical study yet. Therefore, this current research examines in depth the application of criminal jurisdiction distribution rules and the legal consequences of such application. This study comes in light of the ambiguity of the relevant legal provisions and the lack of necessary literature, it sets out to clarify such ambiguity, and to help the competent tribunals in adopting uniform rules in ruling in criminal matters. In addition, this study has included the relevant applicable Jordanian rules namely: venue which territorial jurisdiction is based upon. The study concludes with an appraisal that contains several recommendations that could be of use to the legislative authority in any effert to amend the criminal law in Jordan. As a modest contribution this paper aims to add a novel work to the universal knowledge in this field.
