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

Last week, the Lords Constitution Committee heard evidence on the impact of Brexit on the courts from the President and Deputy President of the Supreme Court, in which Baroness Hale warned that judges could be forced into making what appear to be “political decisions” under the Government’s Brexit bill.

On Monday 26 March, the Judicial Committee of the Privy Council will hear the appeal of Super Industrial Services Ltd & Anor v National Gas Company of Trinidad and Tobago (Trinidad and Tobago). This appeal will consider whether a claim, which has already been the subject of case management by the court, should be automatically struck out under CPR 27.3as a result of the claimant’s failure to apply for a date to be fixed for a case management conference within the specified time period. This will be heard in Courtroom 3.

A full list of the cases scheduled for the Hilary term can be found here.
