Quizplus · Accepted Answer

James should bring this action to the B.C. Supreme Court as it has jurisdiction over civil claims exceeding $35,000 in British Columbia. The Small Claims Court has a limit of $35,000, the B.C. Court of Appeal only hears appeals from lower courts, the County Court does not exist in British Columbia, and the Federal Corporation Court does not have jurisdiction over this type of civil claim.
