The '''Court of Appeal of Alberta''' (frequently referred to as '''Alberta Court of Appeal''' or '''ABCA''') is a [[Court system of Canada#Appellate courts of the provinces and territories|Canadian appellate court]].


==Jurisdiction and Hierarchy within Canadian Courts==
==Current judges==
The Court is the highest [[court]] in [[Alberta]], Canada. It hears [[appeals]] from the [[Alberta Court of Queen's Bench]], the [[Provincial Court of Alberta]], and [[Court system of canada#Federal and provincial administrative tribunals|administrative boards and tribunals]], as well as [[Reference question|references]] from the [[Lieutenant Governor of Alberta|Lieutenant Governor]] in Council (essentially the [[Executive Council of Alberta|Alberta Cabinet]]). Some administrative appeals may bypass the Court of Queen's Bench, commonly orders made by professional discipline boards under the ''Medical Profession Act'',<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.qp.alberta.ca/574.cfm?page=M11.cfm&leg_type=Acts&isbncln=9780779737789|title=Error Message|first=Government of|last=Alberta|date=1 March 2007|website=www.qp.alberta.ca}}</ref> the ''Legal Profession Act'',<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.qp.alberta.ca/574.cfm?page=l08.cfm&leg_type=Acts&isbncln=9780779742592|title=Alberta Queen's Printer:|first=Government of|last=Alberta|date=17 September 2012|website=www.qp.alberta.ca}}</ref> but also under the ''Energy Resources Conservation Act''.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.qp.alberta.ca/574.cfm?page=e10.cfm&leg_type=Acts&isbncln=9780779742691|title=Error Message|first=Government of|last=Alberta|date=1 March 2007|website=www.qp.alberta.ca}}</ref>
(Full complement of 15 including Chief Justice)


Appeals from the Court of Appeal lie with the [[Supreme Court of Canada]], Canada's court of last resort. Other than certain criminal matters, appeals to the Supreme Court of Canada are heard only by leave of that court. Since the Supreme Court denies leave in most cases, the Court of Appeal is the final court for most matters originating in Alberta.

Pop. per Justice: ~293k


Unlike the Court of Queen's Bench, the Court of Appeal has no [[inherent jurisdiction]] and therefore requires a statute to grant it the power to hear a matter before a panel is convened. As a court of a province, it is administered by the provincial government. Hearings are held exclusively in both the [[Edmonton, Alberta|Edmonton]] and [[Calgary]] court buildings. Unlike other provinces (except [[Newfoundland and Labrador]] and [[Ontario]]), the Alberta Court of Appeal displays a different [[Coat of Arms]] than its lower courts: the [[Coat of Arms of Canada]].

==History==
! Appointed
The Court originated from the old [[Supreme Court of the Northwest Territories]] which was replaced by the Supreme Court of Alberta in 1907 (shortly after Alberta became a province in 1905). The new Supreme Court of Alberta comprised a trial division and an appellate division (essentially, brother justices of the Supreme Court sitting ''en banc'' with a quorum of three).

The second Chief Justice of Alberta, [[Horace Harvey]], supported an independent appellate court designed only to hear appeals. The ''Judicature Act'' enacted these changes in 1919, and it was proclaimed in 1921.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://albertacourts.ca/court-of-appeal/history |title=History of the Court of Appeal |publisher=Albertacourts.ca |date= |accessdate=2018-08-05}}</ref> It was not until 1979 that the Court changed its name to the "Court of Appeal of Alberta" through the ''Court of Appeal Act'',<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.qp.alberta.ca/574.cfm?page=C30.cfm&leg_type=Acts&isbncln=0779728246|title=Alberta Queen's Printer:|first=Government of|last=Alberta|date=17 September 2012|website=www.qp.alberta.ca}}</ref> at the same time that the Supreme Court Trial Division and the District Court were amalgamated and renamed the "Court of Queen's Bench of Alberta".

==Composition==
| 27 October 2006
There are 14 official positions on the bench<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.fja.gc.ca/appointments-nominations/judges-juges-eng.aspx|title=Federal Judicial Appointments - Number of Federally Appointed Judges in Canada|first=Office of the Commissioner for Federal Judicial Affairs|last=Canada|website=www.fja.gc.ca}}</ref> including the chief justice, who is the highest judicial officer in the province and holds the position of Chief Justice of Alberta. At any given time there may be several additional judges who also sit as supernumerary justice.<ref>ibid.</ref> As a [[Constitution Act, 1867#Section 96 courts|section 96 court]], the justices are appointed by the [[Government of Canada|federal government]] and may hold office until the age of 75. Some of the justices have elected [[Supernumerary judge|supernumerary]] (part-time or semi-retired) status. Occasionally, justices of the Court of Queen's Bench of Alberta sit on appeals. This is done at the request of a justice of the Court of Appeal. When this happens, these justices are sitting "ex officio", but they have the same powers and duties as other justices of the Court of Appeal.

Most cases are heard by a panel of three justices although the Chief Justice may convene a larger panel in exceptional circumstances. A single justice will preside over matters heard in [[Chambers (law)|”chambers”]], usually [[interlocutory]] matters or applications for leave to appeal.
