(1) The local court in whose district the administrative authority has its seat renders a decision on an objection to the regulatory fining notice. The local court judge renders a decision sitting alone.
(2) The youth court judge has jurisdiction in proceedings in respect of juveniles and adolescents.
(3) If there is more than one local court district, or more than one part of such district, within the district of the administrative authority of a Land, the Land government may determine, by statutory instrument, and in derogation from subsection (1), the jurisdiction of the local court according to where
1. the regulatory offence, or one of the regulatory offences, was committed (place of commission), or
2. the person concerned has his or her domicile (place of residence)
if it appears appropriate, given the large number of cases or the great distance between the place of commission or the place of residence and the seat of the local court having jurisdiction in accordance with subsection (1), to assign the sets of proceedings to more than one local court; section 37 (3) applies accordingly. The district determining the jurisdiction of the local court in accordance with sentence 1 may comprise the districts of more than one local court. The Land government may transfer the authorisation to the Land department of justice.
