The Ontario Court of Appeal is one of the highest courts in the province of Ontario, Canada. It is an appellate court that primarily hears appeals from decisions made by lower courts in Ontario, such as the Superior Court of Justice and the Ontario Divisional Court. The Court of Appeal does not conduct trials; instead, it reviews legal issues and decisions made in lower courts to determine if they were correctly decided.
