cognisable
Within court's jurisdiction
Cognisable is the British spelling of cognizable, meaning capable of being known, recognized, or understood.
In legal contexts, a cognisable offence is one that falls within a court's jurisdiction or that police can investigate without a warrant: The matter is cognisable by the magistrate's court.
The word appears mostly in formal and legal writing.
