A Court of Appeal is a superior court that reviews decisions from lower courts when parties believe legal errors occurred. Each province has a Court of Appeal (also called Court of Queen's Bench Appeal Division in some provinces), and there is a Federal Court of Appeal for federal matters. Appeals focus on whether the lower court made errors in interpreting or applying the law, not on re-examining facts. Appeal courts can uphold the original decision, reverse it, or order a new trial. The Supreme Court of Canada sits above provincial Courts of Appeal, hearing appeals on matters of national importance. Access to appeal ensures legal errors can be corrected and law develops consistently.
