British Columbia Court of Appeal Decisions

The British Columbia Court of Appeal is the highest court in the province, reviewing decisions made by lower courts. Its role is to ensure the correct application of law and fairness in legal proceedings. When a party believes there was a legal error or significant issue in a trial, they can request the Court of Appeal to re-examine the case. The Court considers legal arguments, evidence, and relevant laws to decide whether to uphold, modify, or overturn previous decisions. Its rulings set important legal precedents and guide future cases, maintaining consistency and justice in the province’s legal system.
