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

On Monday 23 May 2016 the Supreme Court will hear the appeal of In the matter of D (A child) regarding whether there is a fundamental principle of procedure in England and Wales that a child must be given an “opportunity to be heard” in every disputed custody case, and whether the Romanian Court of Appeal breached that principle by not giving the child, D, such an opportunity. This will be heard in Court 2 from 12pm.

On Tuesday 24 May 2016 it will hear the appeal of R (Shindler & Anor) v Chancellor of the Duchy of Lancaster & Anor challenging the lawfulness of the EU Referendum Act 2015, s 2, in respect of the fact that it excludes British citizens who reside outside of the UK from voting in the upcoming EU Referendum if they have been resident outside of the UK for a period of more than 15 years. This is an oral permission hearing which will be immediately followed by the full appeal if permission is granted. This will be heard in Court 1 from 10.30am.
