If the Supreme Court is the court of last resort, what other courts must this case pass through first in order to reach the Supreme Court?

A:

There are a range of options. A case in any court in the country may eventually be elevated to the level of the Supreme Court, should the court decide to hear it. Our case will be brought first to a series of courts within a single Canadian province, and if granted leave, it will then be heard in the Supreme Court.
