Which of the following would not be a level of court in Ontario?

  1. Ontario Court of Justice

  2. Provincial/Territorial Superior Courts

  3. Ontario Court of Appeal

  4. Court of Queen’s Bench

The correct answer is: Court of Queen’s Bench

The Court of Queen's Bench is indeed not a court in Ontario. In Ontario, the structure of the court system includes the Ontario Court of Justice, which deals primarily with criminal and family law matters, and the Superior Court of Justice, which is the trial court of general jurisdiction. The Ontario Court of Appeal is the highest court in the province that hears appeals from the Superior Court and other lower courts. The term "Court of Queen’s Bench" is historically used in some other provinces in Canada, such as Alberta and Manitoba, but it is not the correct nomenclature for the trial court in Ontario. Therefore, this option stands out as the one that does not fit within the levels of court recognized in Ontario's legal framework.
