Section 92(14) of the Constitution Act, 1867

Section 92(14) of the Constitution Act, 1867, also known as the administration of justice power, grants the provincial legislatures of Canada the authority to legislate on:

14. The Administration of Justice in the Province, including the Constitution, Maintenance, and Organization of Provincial Courts, both of Civil and of Criminal Jurisdiction, and including Procedure in Civil Matters in those Courts.

It has been considered to be one of the major sources of conflict concerning the interpretation of the Constitution of Canada.^[1]
