The Provincial Court and the Supreme Court are trial courts. They listen to witnesses and hear arguments and make decisions. The Court of Appeal only hears appeals. It listens to arguments about why the trial judge was wrong and sometimes sets aside trial decisions. However, the Provincial Court can only deal with certain issues and claims. The Supreme Court and the Court of Appeal are our province's superior courts and they can deal with all issues and claims; their jurisdiction is limited only by their rules and the constitution. | The Provincial Court and the Supreme Court are trial courts.
