Minor criminal offences are heard in

Superior Court
Provincial Court
Court of Queen’s Branch
None of the above

The correct answer is: Provincial Court

In Ontario, minor criminal offences are dealt with in the Provincial Court, which is often referred to as the "Ontario Court of Justice." This court is responsible for the majority of criminal offences in Ontario, excluding the most serious crimes, which are typically handled by the Superior Court of Justice. Minor criminal offences, also known as summary offences, may include theft under $5000, causing a disturbance, or breach of probation. The Provincial Court will deal with these types of cases by summarizing the evidence and deciding on appropriate legal penalties. In contrast, the Superior Court and Court of Queen's Branch are not where typically minor offences would be tried. Therefore, the correct answer is the Provincial Court.
