OBS

The Judicial Committee of the Privy Council (JCPC) is a board of the British Privy Council made up of prominent jurists in Britain. It had jurisdiction over all colonial courts, including the province of Canada and the Dominion of Canada until 1949. Thus, the Supreme Court of Canada (created in 1875) was not in fact the highest court.
