Exchequer Court

The Exchequer Court was a historic Canadian court that handled cases involving government taxes, debts, and financial claims. It functioned primarily to ensure government revenues and financial matters were properly managed and disputes settled. The court's jurisdiction focused on financial and taxation issues related to the federal government. Over time, its role was absorbed into other courts, and it no longer exists as a separate entity today. Essentially, it was a specialized court that managed financial disputes involving the government, ensuring proper collection and accounting of public funds.
