North-West Territories. Supreme Court

  • GA 83
  • Primary Agency
  • 1887-1907

The Supreme Court of the North-West Territories was created by the Dominion Government in 1886. The enabling legislation came into effect on February 18, 1887. The Supreme Court sat in Regina, North-West Territories and consisted of five puisne judges, all of whom were appointed by the federal cabinet. Current or former judges of a superior court in any Canadian province, stipendiary magistrates or lawyers who had practiced in Canada for a minimum of 10 years could be appointed to the Court. Legislation did not provide for a chief justice until 1902. Members of the first Court were Justices T.H. McGuire (Chief Justice), Hugh Richardson, James F. McLeod, Charles Roleau and Edward Wetmore.

The North-West Territories was divided into five judicial districts: Eastern Assiniboia; Western Assiniboia; Southern Alberta; Northern Alberta and Saskatchewan. Numerous judicial district boundary and name changes occurred over time but the various districts always overlapped the boundaries of what are now the provinces of Alberta and Saskatchewan.

While each judge was to have a defined "official residence", judges had jurisdiction throughout the entire territories. Court personnel were appointed in each judicial district to provide assistance in the day-to-day administration of the court. The senior judge plus a quorum of at least two more judges sat en banc at the seat of government of the North-West Territories to hear appeals, applications for new trials, points in civil and criminal cases reserved for the opinion of the court and various other matters.

On September 1, 1905 the province of Saskatchewan was created. The territorial court system remained in place in Saskatchewan until September 16, 1907, when The Judicature Act (S.S. 1907, c.8) came into effect, creating a new court system that consisted of the Supreme Court, the District Court and the Surrogate Court.
