Courts and public offices for Akureyri
Court cases from Akureyri are heard at first instance by the Northeast Iceland District Court (Héraðsdómur Norðurlands eystra), which sits in the town itself. Appeals go to the Court of Appeal (Landsréttur) and, in cases of general importance, to the Supreme Court (Hæstiréttur), both in Reykjavík.
Many everyday legal matters never reach court.
