Biographical History

The Hlinsko District Court was established in 1849. In 1855, when a mixed district office was created, dealing with all administrative, tax and judicial matters. From 1868, the mixed district offices were again divided into separate district courts and district offices. The court in Hlinsko functioned from 1868 to 1949, when the Skuteč District Court was affiliated to it. There was a change in 1952 - the Constitutional Act on Courts and the Prosecutors' Offices divided courts into People's Courts (former district courts), regional courts and the Supreme Court. In 1960, during the territorial reorganization, the People's Court in Hlinsko ceased to exist and was annexed to Chrudim.
