The High Court of Justice of Andalusia is the highest expression of the Judiciary in our autonomous community. It was constituted on the 23^rd of May, 1989, as a part of the judicial structure. The High Courts of Justice emerged with the plan envisaged in article 26 of the Organic Law of the Judiciary.

The three contentious administrative courts and three labour courts of the High Court of Andalusia are located in Seville, Malaga and Granada. The jurisdiction of the courts in Seville is limited to the provinces of Cadiz, Cordoba, Huelva and Seville, while the courts located in Granada have jurisdiction in the provinces of Almeria, Granada and Jaen. The jurisdiction of contentious administrative courts and labour courts of the High Court of Andalusia located in Malaga is limited to their province.  

The North African cities of Ceuta and Melilla are within the jurisdiction of the High Court of Andalusia, in accordance with the Ley de Demarcación y Planta (Demarcation and Judicature Act), specifically in the Provincial Courts of Cadiz and Malaga, respectively. 

From the vantage point of the contentious administrative jurisdiction, the agreements of the organs in Ceuta and Melilla will be appealed against in the contentious administrative courts of both cities or in the contentious administrative courts of Seville and Malaga, depending on the distinct nature of the administrative organs that issue the appealed agreements. The judgments that the aforementioned courts pass will be appealed against in the contentious administrative courts of Seville and Malaga.
