Hearings in the Supreme Court are now shown live on the Court’s website.
On Tuesday 11 and Wednesday 12 February 2020, the Supreme Court will hear the appeal of Regeneron Pharmaceuticals Inc v Kymab Ltd. In this appeal, Kymab Ltd alleges that the relevant patents are invalid for insufficiency because they did not enable the ordinary skilled person to work the claimed invention across the breadth of the claims.
On Wednesday 12 February 2020, the Court will hand down judgment in R (Jalloh)(Liberia)) v Secretary of State for the Home Department. This appeal will consider whether the imposition of a curfew requirement on a person subject to deportation amounts to ‘imprisonment’ for the purpose of establishing the tort of false imprisonment.
On Wednesday 12 and Thursday 13 February 2020, the Court will also hear the appeal of Royal Mencap Society v Tomlinson-Blake and Shannon v Rampersad & Anor (T/A Clifton House Residential Home). This appeal will consider whether home workers who are required to remain at home in their shift and/or residential care workers who ‘sleep in’ are entitled to the national minimum wage for time that is not spent actually performing some specific activity.
On Monday 10 February 2020, the Privy Council will hear the appeal of Chief Personnel Officer v Amalgamated Worker’s Union (Trinidad & Tobago).
