Hearings in the Supreme Court are now shown live on the Court’s website.

On Monday 16, Tuesday 17, Wednesday 18 and Thursday 19 November the Supreme Court will hear eight combined appeals. These are appeals against the orders of the Butcher J and Flaux LJ concerning the construction of certain provisions in insurance policies written by the Appellant Insurers, and obtained by a range of businesses and organisations, which purport to provide coverage in the event of business interruption. The Divisional Court considered the construction of each policy wording and the FCA, the Appellant Insurers and the Hiscox Interveners appeal on a number of points

On Monday 16 November, the Supreme Court will also hear the appeal of Robinson (Jamaica) v Secretary of State for Home Department. The appeal will consider whether the Court of Justice of the European Union’s admonition that a non-EU citizen who is the primary carer for an EU citizen child may only be deported in “exceptional circumstances” is a summary of the conditions that must be met to justify deportation, or an additional threshold.

On Friday 20 November, the Supreme Court will hand down judgment in Test Claimants in the Franked Investment Income Group Litigation and others (Respondents) v Commissioners for Her Majesty’s Revenue and Customs (Appellant) (1) and Test Claimants in the Franked Investment Income Group Litigation and others (Respondents) v Commissioners for Her Majesty’s Revenue and Customs (Appellant) (2). The proposed panel for hand down is Lord Reed, Lord Hodge, Lord Carnwath, Lord Lloyd-Jones, Lord Briggs, Lord Sales, and Lord Hamblen. The appeal primarily considered two issues. First, the compatibility of United Kingdom corporate taxation with certain principles of EU law and the liabilities of the Revenue to a taxpayer who has overpaid tax on the basis of incompatible United Kingdom legislation. Second, issues arising out of the case of Prudential Assurance Company Limited v Commissioners for Her Majesty’s Revenue and Customs [2018] UKSC 39.
