The Provincial Court of Saskatchewan is a provincial court of record〔''(The Provincial Court Act, 1998 )'', s. 13.〕 for the province of Saskatchewan. It hears matters relating to criminal law, youth law, civil law, family law, traffic law and municipal bylaws. == Jurisdiction == The Provincial Court is a creation of statute, and as such its jurisdiction is limited to those matters permitted by statute. It has no inherent jurisdiction, other than to the limited degree in which it may control its own procedures. In criminal matters, it is a trial court for all summary conviction offences. For indictable criminal offences, it can be a trial court if an accused person elects to have his or her trial in that court. When an accused charged with an indictable offence elects trial by a superior court (the Saskatchewan Court of Queen's Bench), the preliminary inquiry will be held in the Provincial Court. The Provincial Court is also designated as the Youth Justice Court under the Youth Criminal Justice Act of Canada. In civil matters, the Small Claims division of the court is limited to claims for up to $20,000. The Provincial Court also has limited family law jurisdiction, except for divorce proceedings and the division of matrimonial property. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Provincial Court of Saskatchewan」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
