Civil procedure in Canada

For rules of civil procedure by country, see civil procedure.

In Canada, the rules of civil procedure are administered separately by each jurisdiction, both federal and provincial. Nine provinces and three territories in Canada are common law jurisdictions. One province, Quebec, is governed by civil law.[1]

In all provinces and territories, there is an inferior and superior court.[1] For certain matters, jurisdiction lies at first instance with the Federal Court of Canada. In all cases, the final court of appeal is the Supreme Court of Canada.[1]
