History of Saskatchewan Courts

=History of Saskatchewan Courts=

When law and order was first brought to light in the west, it was via the Hudson's Bay Company in Rupert's Land. The Red River Settlement was home to the General Court of the Hudson's Bay company. In 1870, legalities were handled by the Dominion Government. Later 1873 saw the formation of a court system handled by the Court of Queen's Bench of Manitoba. An official Supreme Court of the North West Territories was established in 1886 and meted out law and order until 1907. Saskatchewan became a province in 1905, but didn't have provincial court systems until after 1907. This early court system was a three tier system with the Supreme Court of Saskatchewan, then the District Court, and finally the Surrogate Court. Following World War I, the court system underwent an overhaul and now the Supreme Court of Saskatchewan was separated into two courts. The Court of King's Bench, and the Court of Appeal. These two higher courts still had the lesser courts of the District Court, and finally the Surrogate Court. In 1952, when the Queen Elizabeth II succeeded her father King George VI, the Court of King's Bench became the Court of Queen's Bench for Saskatchewan. In 1981, the District Court was amalgamated into the Court of Queen's Bench. [http://www.saskarchives.com/web/pub-bulletin-7.html Saskatchewan Archives Board | Court Records] ]
