Court of Appeal for British Columbia

The Court of Appeal for British Columbia is the highest court in the province, responsible for reviewing decisions from lower courts like the Supreme Court of British Columbia. It primarily handles appeals related to civil, criminal, and administrative law issues, ensuring the proper application of the law and consistent legal standards across the province. The court consists of a panel of judges who review cases based on the legal questions involved, rather than re-examining facts. Its decisions are final unless appealed to the Supreme Court of Canada, serving as a key guardian of legal correctness and justice in British Columbia.
