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

On Tuesday 18 May, the Supreme Court will hear Kostal UK v Dunkley and Ors. This appeal will consider whether a “prohibited result” under s. 145B Trade Union and Labour Relations Consolidation Act 1992 can only arise in circumstances where direct offers to employees take terms outside the scope of collective bargaining on a permanent basis.

On Thursday 20 May, the Supreme Court will hear Bott & Co Solicitors v Ryanair DAC. This appeal will consider the limits to the principle (as espoused in Gavin Edmondson Solicitors Ltd v Haven Insurance Co Ltd [2018] UKSC 21) under which a solicitor can ask the Court to grant an equitable lien in order to protect his entitlement to fees as against his client.
