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

On Monday 8 June 2015 the Court will hear the conjoined appeals of Sharland v Sharland; Gohil v Gohil. These cases concern fraudulent non-disclosure of assets during divorce proceedings. This will be the first time that the court has had to decide whether spouses who are dishonest or conceal their assets to reduce the pay-out in a divorce should be allowed to get away with it. It will be heard in Court 1 from 11am and will continue on Tuesday and Wednesday from 10.30am.

On Wednesday 10 June the Court will hand down judgment in the following: Arnold v Britton & Ors regarding the true interpretation of 5 versions of a clause which has been described as a service charge clause in the long lease agreement of 25 chalets in the respondent’s leisure park; and Pendragon plc & Ors v The Commissioners for Her Majesty’s Revenue and Customs regarding the application of the European law principle of abuse of rights in the context of VAT, and whether the Court of Appeal was correct to find that the Upper Tribunal failed to identify any error of law that would allow it to interfere with the First-Tier Tribunal decision that the respondent had a commercial motive for the transactions and that the arrangements were not therefore abusive. These will be handed down in Court 2 from 9.45am.

On Monday 8 June the Privy Council will hand down judgment in Saverettiar v Saverettiar (Mauritius), Republic Bank Limited v Lochan & Anor (Trinidad and Tobago) and Boufoy-Bastick v The University of the West Indies (Jamaica). These judgments will not be delivered in Court. On Wednesday 10 June the Council will hear the appeal of The Central Tenders Board & Anor v White t/a White Constructions Services (Montserrat) concerning whether the appellants unlawfully withdrew an award of a tender to the respondent, breaching his legitimate expectation and entitling him to compensation. It will be heard in Court 3 from 10.30am.

A full list of all of the cases due to be heard in the Trinity term can be found here.
