Ontario Court of Justice

The Ontario Court of Justice is a provincial court in Ontario that handles criminal cases, family matters (such as divorce and child custody), and other legal issues like provincial offenses. It primarily deals with less serious crimes (summary offenses), certain family law issues, and some youth offences. The court aims to provide accessible justice for residents, make fair decisions, and resolve legal disputes efficiently. It operates under provincial jurisdiction and is an essential part of Ontario’s justice system, serving as the first level of court for many legal matters within the province.
