Divisional Courts hear appeals from which sources?

Divisional Courts hear appeals from which sources?

• A. Tribunals
• B. Federal Court
• C. Superior Courts and Tribunals
• D. Superior Courts

Answer: (C)

Divisional Courts operate as an appellate division within the Superior Court that handles certain appeals from two main sources: decisions of tribunals and decisions of superior courts when the statute gives that path. Tribunals decide under specific statutes, and if a party believes there was an error, the Divisional Court provides a streamlined avenue for review. At the same time, some decisions of the Superior Court can be appealed to the Divisional Court under particular statutory schemes, so you’re looking at both streams in practice. The Federal Court isn’t the source for these Divisional Court appeals in this context, and focusing on only one source (either tribunals or superior courts) ignores the statutory routes that the Divisional Court can hear.
