EA challenge against a publication ban would typically be brought in a court of original jurisdiction, as it involves contesting a decision made by a lower court. If the initial challenge is unsuccessful, the next step would often involve appealing to a higher court, which could include the Court of Appeal as the starting point for appellate procedures, depending on the jurisdiction and specific legal system in place. The Canadian Judicial Council deals with judicial conduct, not the review of specific judicial decisions, and administrative tribunals generally do not have jurisdiction over court procedural matters. Appeals to the Supreme Court of Canada are not automatically granted; they require leave and are typically reserved for cases of national importance or to resolve significant legal issues.
