Hearings in the Supreme Court are now shown live on the Court’s website.
On Tuesday 12 December, the Supreme Court will hear the appeal of A v B & Anor. This appeal will consider the scope of A’s contractual obligation of disclosure, considering whether the employment tribunal made appropriate findings to support the duty imposed and whether such duty was disproportionate given A’s right to private life. This will be heard in Courtroom 2.
On Wednesday 13 December, the Supreme Court will hear the appeal of R (Mott) v Environment Agency. This appeal will consider what the correct approach is to determining whether there has been a de facto expropriation amounting to a breach of the right to peaceful enjoyment of possessions under the ECHR, art 1 of the First Protocol, and when compensation must be paid to avoid a breach of this article in circumstances where the interference in question is imposed on environmental grounds. This will be heard in Courtroom 2.
On Wednesday 13 December, the Judicial Committee of the Privy Council will hear the appeal of Almazeedi v Penner & Anor (Cayman Islands).

This will be heard in Courtroom 3.
On Thursday 14 December, the Supreme Court will hear the appeal of HM Inspector of Health and Safety v Chevron North Sea Ltd (Scotland). This appeal will consider whether the employment tribunal hearing an appeal under the Health and Safety at Work etc Act 1974, s 24 by a person on whom an improvement notice or prohibition notice has been served, is entitled to take into account evidence which was not known and could not reasonably have been known to the inspector at the time he issued the notice. This will be heard in Courtroom 2.
