Which court would hear an appeal from a tribunal in Ontario?

• A. Ontario Court of Appeal
• B. Divisional Courts
• C. Small Claims Court
• D. Supreme Court of Canada

Answer: (B)

In Ontario, decisions from many provincial tribunals are first appealed to the Divisional Court, which is a part of the Ontario Superior Court of Justice. The Divisional Court reviews tribunal decisions for errors of law or jurisdiction, serving as the court of first appeal for these administrative rulings. If a further challenge is pursued, an appeal from the Divisional Court typically goes to the Ontario Court of Appeal, and from there, with leave, to the Supreme Court of Canada. The Ontario Court of Appeal handles appeals from Divisional Court decisions, not directly from tribunals. The Small Claims Court is not an appellate court for tribunal decisions; it handles its own matters and can have limited avenues for appeal to the Divisional Court on specific questions of law. The Supreme Court of Canada is the final court of appeal and generally reviews decisions from the Court of Appeal (with leave), not directly from tribunals.
