Weymouth Magistrates Court, part of the Weymouth Combined Court Centre, handles a wide range of criminal and civil matters serving the town of Weymouth and the surrounding Dorset coastline. Situated in the heart of the town near the inner harbour, the court processes hundreds of cases each year covering everything from motoring offences and minor criminal matters to more complex summary and either-way cases. Whether you are a defendant, legal professional, journalist, or member of the public, this page provides up-to-date court listings, essential contact information, and practical guidance for attending hearings in Weymouth.
Weymouth is a combined court centre, meaning the magistrates' court, county court, and family court all operate from the same building — The Law Courts on Westwey Road, overlooking the inner harbour and marina. The magistrates' court at Weymouth holds jurisdiction over the local Dorset area, including the Isle of Portland, Chickerell, Dorchester, and surrounding coastal communities. It operates under the jurisdiction of His Majesty's Courts and Tribunals Service (HMCTS) and deals with the majority of criminal cases in the region before they are either resolved locally or committed upward to the Crown Court.
