 | | The Supreme Court of Canada hears appeals from the provincial courts of last resort, usually the provincial or territorial courts of appeal, and the Federal Court of Appeal. | | | The Supreme Court of Canada formally became the court of last resort for criminal appeals in 1933 and for all other appeals in 1949. | | | In the early days the Supreme Court was not the court of last resort for cases: all cases could be appealed to the Judicial Committee of the Privy Council in London. |

| | The political system under which Canada operates, known as the Westminster system, was enshrined by the British Parliament in the Constitution Act, 1867 (also known as the British North America Act), but the federal model and division of powers were devised by Canadian politicians. | | | Given the narrow federalist victory in 1995, a reference was made by the Chrétien government to the Supreme Court of Canada in 1998 regarding the legality of a unilateral secession of Quebec (or any province); this resulted in the passage of the Clarity Act in 2000. | | | Judicial branch: Supreme Court of Canada, judges are appointed by the governor general on the advice of the Cabinet with parliamentary committee review. |
