Applications for Leave to Appeal
Leave Applications Filed by Year
Leave Decisions: Granted vs Dismissed
Leave Grant Rate (%) by Year
Leave Outcomes (in selected range)
Note: Leave filing and disposition dates are populated where bulletin / leave records exist (roughly a third of all cases), with strongest coverage in recent decades.
Appeals Heard
Total Appeals Heard by Year
By Type: AOR vs By Leave vs From-Bench
From-Bench Decisions by Year
Appeal Judgments
Judgments Rendered by Year
From Bench vs Reserved by Year
Appeal Outcomes
Allowed vs Dismissed by Year
Unanimous vs Split by Year
Unanimous Rate (%) by Year
Note: Outcome views use cases with an appeal outcome captured in the database. From-bench decisions can be undercounted when no written reasons page exists.
Time Lapses (average months)
Leave Filed → Leave Decided
Leave Decided → Hearing sparse
Hearing → Judgment (reserved)
Initial Filing → Final Judgment sparse
Note: "Leave decided → hearing" and "initial filing → final judgment" require cases to have both endpoint dates, so they cover fewer cases and appear mainly in recent years.
Where Cases Come From
Cases by Province / Territory and Year (stacked)
Total Cases by Province / Territory
Court of Origin (neutral-citation era)
Note: Court of origin is parsed from the appeal citation, so it mainly captures the neutral-citation era (roughly 2000 onward). Province / territory coverage spans the full range.
Subject Matter
Civil vs Criminal by Year
Criminal Share (%) by Year
Note: Civil vs criminal is derived from the database's subject-area coding, which is thorough for older years but thins out after ~2015. A more detailed subject breakdown can be added once recent coding improves.
