North Kowloon Magistracy

The North Kowloon Magistracy (北九龍裁判法院 / 北九龍裁判司署 before 1 July 1997) is a historic building and former Magistrate's Court located at No. 292, Tai Po Road, Shek Kip Mei, Kowloon, Hong Kong.
The building was erected in 1960 and served the community for over 44 years. The Magistracy used to handle cases in the Kowloon District, which covers Mong Kok, Sham Shui Po, Shek Kip Mei, Cheung Sha Wan and Ho Man Tin, and could be considered one of the busiest in Hong Kong.〔 It was closed in 2005 due to cost saving policy of the government and consolidation of magistracies from nine to six.〔(Anquities and Monuments Office, Leisure and Cultural Services Department: "Introduction to 1444 Historic Buildings", p.338 )〕 In February 2009, the government declared that the building will be converted into the Hong Kong campus of the Savannah College of Art and Design. The opening is expected in September, 2010.
==History==

Before 1942, two magistracies were handling offences in Kowloon: one, located in Shanghai Street between Public Square Street and Market Street, was demolished in 1957. The other one was the Kowloon Magistracy in Gascoigne Road,〔 built in 1936 and renamed the South Kowloon District Court in 1957.〔(Antiquities and Monuments Office: Brief Information on Proposed Grade I Items, pp. 240-241 )〕 The North Kowloon Magistracy was built in 1960. After its completion, the building functioned as both magistrates' courts and space on the upper floors for more Government offices.〔(Antiquities and Monuments Office: Brief Information on Proposed Grade II Items, pp.277-278 )〕 During the illegal Chinese influx during the Cultural Revolution in the 1960s, if the illegal immigrants arrived the Magistracy after making their way from the border, they will be granted permanent residency on Hong Kong. It became the sole judicial court handling offences in Kowloon in 2000, when the magistracy in Gascoigne Road was closed.〔
The North Kowloon Magistracy was closed on 3 January 2005 due to cost saving policy of the government and consolidation of magistracies from nine to six.〔 The estimated saving from the closure of North Kowloon Magistracy is HK$6.6 million a year coming mainly from the reduction of registry staff.〔Judiciary, ("North Kowloon Magistracy to Close" ), Government Press Release, 24 December 2004〕 Cases from this court have consequently been dealt with in Kwun Tong, Kowloon City and Sha Tin Magistrates' Courts.〔
