History
With the passing of the Courts of Justice Amendment Act of 1989, the court system in Ontario began to be reorganized. Under the new system, all courts in the province, outside of the Court of Appeal and the Unified Family Court, were to form part of the Ontario Court of Justice, which in turn would consist of two divisions - the Ontario Court (General Division) and the Ontario Court (Provincial Division). The Provincial Court (Civil Division) was at this time replaced by the Small Claims Court branch of the new Ontario Court (General Division). Appeals of Small Claims Court judgements are heard by the Ontario Court (General Division) Divisional Court.
