A party applying for judicial review must first determine whether the Federal Court or a provincial superior court has the authority to decide on the matter. As a general rule, provincial jurisdiction includes tribunals established within provincial constitutional jurisdiction and tribunals created by the province due to a delegation of powers by the federal government. | A party applying for judicial review must first determine whether the Federal Court or a provincial superior court has the authority to decide on the matter.

When considering judicial review of federal tribunals, look at both the ''Federal Courts Act'', RSC 1985, c F-7, and the particular tribunal’s governing statute. Often the governing statute sets out important limitation periods and procedures. | When considering judicial review of federal tribunals, look at both the ''Federal Courts Act'', RSC 1985, c F-7, and the particular tribunal’s governing statute.
