# Northern Ireland Courts and Tribunals Service

NICTS administers the fixed-penalty and court boundary used in the selected
[Northern Ireland speeding route](../services/northern-ireland-speeding-notice.md).
An actual notice and the court process determine the available response.

NICTS also supports the [Northern Ireland coroner boundary](coroners-service-northern-ireland.md)
and [probate route](../services/northern-ireland-probate-estate.md). Those
authorities and processes are not replaced by Great Britain routes.
