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

On Monday 23, Tuesday 24, Wednesday 25 and Thursday 26 November, the Supreme Court will hear the case of R (on the application of Begum) v Secretary of State for the Home Department. The UKSC Blog Case Preview can be found here. The case will consider three issues. First, should Ms Begum be granted leave to enter the UK so that she can pursue her appeal against the Secretary of State’s decision to deprive her of British citizenship? Second, was the Special Immigration Appeals Commission wrong to apply judicial review principles to Ms Begum’s appeal against the deprivation decision? Third, if Ms Begum is refused leave to enter the UK, should her appeal against the deprivation decision be allowed?

On Friday 27 November, the Supreme Court will hand down two judgments. The first is Halliburton Company v Chubb Bermuda Insurance Ltd (Formerly known as Ace Bermuda Insurance Ltd). The proposed panel for hand-down is Lord Reed, Lord Hodge, Lady Black, Lord Lloyd-Jones, and Lady Arden. The appeal considered when an arbitrator should make disclosure of circumstances which may give rise to justifiable doubts as to his impartiality.

The second is Commissioners for Her Majesty’s Revenue & Customs v London Clubs Management Ltd. The proposed panel for hand-down is Lord Carnwath, Lady Black, Lady Arden, Lord Kitchin, and Lord Sales. The appeal considered the correct approach as to determining the value of non-negotiable chips for the purpose of calculating gaming duty.

The hand-downs will be streamed on Supreme Court Live and will then be made available on the Supreme Court’s video on demand service.
