On Monday 28 and Tuesday 29 June, the Supreme Court will hear a Reference by the Attorney General and the Advocate General for Scotland – United Nations Convention of the Rights of the Child (UNCRC) (Incorporation) (Scotland) Bill.

On Tuesday 29 and Wednesday 30 June, the Supreme Court will hear Ho v Adelekun. This appeal relates to the construction and effect of a procedural rule in relation to the costs of legal proceedings that applies to all personal injury claims. In particular, the issue before the Court is whether there is jurisdiction in a personal injury claim that attracts the application of Part 44 Section II of the Civil Procedure Rules , which relates to Qualified One-way Costs Shifting, to allow the set-off of an order for costs made against the Claimant against an order for costs made in the Claimant’s favour.
