Courts of Ontario

Courts of Ontario are legal institutions responsible for interpreting and applying laws within the province. They handle a wide range of cases, including criminal, civil, family, and administrative matters. The court system is organized hierarchically, starting with lower courts like the Ontario Court of Justice, which handles less serious offenses and cases, and progressing to higher courts such as the Superior Court of Justice and the Ontario Court of Appeal, which oversee more complex issues and appeals. Judges preside over proceedings, ensuring justice is maintained fairly and impartially, and decisions are made based on Ontario laws and legal principles.
