| The Divisional Court is a branch of the Superior Court of Justice and is one of the busiest appellate courts in Canada. The Divisional Court hears statutory appeals from administrative tribunals in the province, and is the primary forum for judicial review of government action in Ontario. The Divisional Court also has some jurisdiction regarding civil and family appeals.

| '''Every judge of the Superior Court of Justice is also a judge of the Divisional Court.[https://www.attorneygeneral.jus.gov.on.ca/english/courts/divisional/What_is_Divisional_Court_EN.html]''' Appeals to the Divisional Court are generally heard in the judicial region where the matter originally arose. A proceeding is usually heard and decided by a panel of three judges, but may be heard by a single judge in some circumstances. [http://www.ontariocourts.ca/scj/divisional-court/ 1]
