On July 2, 2003, the Courts Administration Service Act split the Federal Court of Canada into two separate courts, with the Federal Court of Appeal succeeding the Appeal Division and the new Federal Court succeeding the Trial Division.
The Federal Court of Appeal has original jurisdiction over applications for judicial review and appeals in respect of certain federal tribunals.[2]
SalariesEdit
Salaries are determined annually by the Judicial Compensation and Benefits Commission. As of 2020, the Chief Justice's salary is $344,400 and the other judges, including the supernumerary judges, earn $314,100 annually.[3]
In September 2015, the court dismissed an appeal by the Government of Canada over a ruling by the Federal Court that found a rule banning the Niqāb at citizenship ceremonies to be unconstitutional.[5]
