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

On Tuesday 19 March, the Supreme Court will hear the appeal of Navigators Insurance Company Ltd & Ors v Atlasnavios-Navegacao LDA (formerly Bnavios Navegacao LDA). This appeal will consider whether clause 4.1.5 of the standard form Institute War and Strikes Clauses 1/10/83, which excludes losses arising from detainment by reasons of infringement of customs regulations, operates to exclude a claim where the infringement of customs regulations occurred due to an insured peril. This will be heard in Courtroom 2.

Re an application by Kevin Maguire for Judicial Review (Northern Ireland)

On Thursday 22 March, the Supreme Court will hear the appeal of Belhaj & Anor v Director of Public Prosecutions (expedited).

The case will also consider whether there is jurisdiction in such a case to entertain an application for a declaration under s 6 of the 2013 Act that a closed material application may be made to the court. This will be heard in Courtroom 2.
