Which court must a case go through before reaching the Final Court of Appeal?

The Supreme Court of Canada serves as the final arbiter of legal disputes in the country and requires that cases pass through various lower courts before they can be heard. This hierarchy of courts is essential for ensuring that all relevant legal arguments and evidence are carefully examined at multiple levels, allowing for a thorough review before reaching the Supreme Court.

Specifically, a case typically must first be adjudicated in lower courts, such as Provincial Courts or Federal Courts, depending on the nature of the case. The appellate process enables higher courts to review decisions made by these lower courts, ensuring proper legal standards are applied. Only after these steps have been completed, and if the case involves significant legal questions, can it be brought before the Supreme Court of Canada.

This structured approach promotes the rule of law and helps to maintain consistency in legal interpretations throughout the judicial system.
