The Federal Courts Act establishes and governs the jurisdiction, powers, and procedures of the Federal Court of Appeal and the Federal Court. These courts handle matters related to federal law, including judicial reviews of decisions by federal boards, commissions, and tribunals, maritime law, and cases involving the Canadian government. The Act consolidates and updates the legal framework for these courts, emphasizing their role in resolving disputes under federal jurisdiction, particularly in areas such as administrative law, immigration, intellectual property, and admiralty (sections 22, 27–28). It also outlines rules for procedural uniformity and the enforcement of judgments (section 46).
