Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The B.C. Supreme Court has jurisdiction over civil claims where the amount claimed exceeds $35,000. Since James is suing for $100,000, he should bring this action in the B.C. Supreme Court. The other options such as small claims court are not suitable for this amount, and the B.C. Court of Appeal and Federal Corporation Court are higher-level courts for appeals and specific cases respectively.
