Which court hears a Grand Baie matter

Grand Baie falls within the district of Rivière du Rempart, which is served by the District Court of Rivière du Rempart — a court that sits at Mapou, not on the coast. In civil matters a District Court hears claims where the sum or matter in dispute does not exceed Rs 250,000; a larger claim is heard higher in the court structure. Which court your matter belongs before is settled at the outset, not assumed. Source: the Supreme Court of Mauritius on the District Court.
