There are three levels of court in British Columbia: the Provincial Court, the Supreme Court, and the Court of Appeal. Above all of these courts is the Supreme Court of Canada, the highest court in Canada. 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 cancels the trial decision. | There are three levels of court in British Columbia: the Provincial Court, the Supreme Court, and the Court of Appeal.
