Services and responsibilities
A detached court is a permanent court office administered from a main seat elsewhere. Orkney sits within the Dr Kenneth Kaunda district, whose main seat is Klerksdorp on 018 464 9200. Matters that cannot be dealt with locally are handled there.
Office and address information
The court is on Patmore Road, Orkney, 2620, with post to Private Bag X7 at the same code. No street number is published.
Applications and escalation
Because Orkney is administered from Klerksdorp, records and some administrative functions may sit at the main seat, so confirm before travelling with documents. No separate after hours domestic violence number is published for Orkney.
