Eviction orders in these matters are issued by which court?

• A. Small Claims Court
• B. Court of Queen's Bench
• C. Court of Appeal
• D. Family Court

Answer: (B)

In Manitoba, eviction orders are civil enforcement actions that require a formal court order to compel a tenant to vacate. The Court of Queen’s Bench is the province’s superior trial court with broad jurisdiction over civil matters, including possession and eviction, and it can issue writs of possession to enforce an eviction if the occupant doesn’t leave after the court has ordered it. Small Claims Court handles smaller monetary disputes and may not have the authority to issue and enforce eviction orders; the Court of Appeal deals with appeals, not initial eviction matters; and the Family Court handles family-law related issues. Therefore, eviction orders in these matters come from the Court of Queen’s Bench.
