STRUCTURE The Federal Court consists of a Chief Justice and thirty-two other judges. Currently, there are 29 full-time judges (leaving four vacancies in the Court), along with three Supernumerary judges, three Deputy judges, and six Prothonotaries . JURISDICTION The Federal Court hears cases involving disputes concerning many federally enacted laws, including judicial review of immigration decisions, intellectual property, admiralty (maritime) law, and aboriginal law. The Court has the authority to judicially review decisions made by most Federal boards, commissions, and administrative tribunals, and to resolve lawsuits against the Federal Government (known as the Crown). Decisions of the Federal Court may be appealed to the Federal Court of Appeal. EXTERNAL LINK |
