In 1998, upon the creation of the Administrative Tribunal of Quebec, the Expropriation Division of the Court of Quebec was abolished. Then in 2002, the Labour Court was replaced by the Quebec Labour Relations Board (Commission des relations du travail). Created in 2016, the Tribunal administratif du travail (the TAT) results from the merger of the Commission des lésions professionnelles and the Commission des relations du travail. From then on, only penal matters of original jurisdiction, arising from offences under the "Labour Code", came under the jurisdiction of the Court of Quebec's Criminal and Penal Division, and only the judges appointed by the chief judge had authority to rule upon these matters.
