General
The Social Courts Act refers to the social courts as special administrative courts that are independent of the administrative authorities ( Section 1 SGG).
The instance train is tripartite. The social courts are regularly responsible in the first instance, the regional social courts as appeal courts and the federal social court with its seat in Kassel as appeal court.

The provisions of the Social Court Act supersede the rules of the administrative court order . The Social Court Act also refers to the provisions of the Administrative Court Code , the Courts Constitution Act and the Code of Civil Procedure .
