In civil matters, the Quebec Court of Appeal hears appeals from final judgments of the Superior Court and of the Court of Québec as of right if the value of the subject matter of the dispute in appeal is $60,000 or more, or with leave in certain cases (for example: in matters of appeal for judicial review or execution).

The Court also hears appeals from various categories of Superior Court judgments in which a monetary value is not directly at stake.

Judgments rendered in the course of a proceeding (i.e., before the judgment that terminates the proceeding) may also be appealed, but only with leave, save for one exception: a judgment that disallows an objection to evidence, where that objection is based on the duty of discretion of public servants or on professional secrecy, is appealable as of right (art. 31 C.C.P.).
