The Federal Court of Appeal is a bijural court that makes decisions on matters of Federal law across Canada. It is bijural because it incorporates elements from both the common law and civil law legal system. The Federal Court of Appeal reviews the decisions from tribunals and other Federal Courts to ensure that Federal laws are applied uniformly in all provinces and territories.
The Federal Court of Appeal has the jurisdiction to hear decisions from the Federal Court, decisions from the Tax Court of Canada, other statutory appeals, and tribunals listed in s.28(1) of the Federal Courts Act. These matters may include a wide array of legal issues, such as administrative law, constitutional law, taxation, immigration, intellectual property, and other areas governed by Federal statutes.
