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

On Wednesday 22nd March the Court will hand-down judgment in Moulsdale t/a Moulsdale Properties v Commissioners for His Majesty’s Revenue and Customs (Scotland) [2023] UKSC 12. The judgment will determine whether the taxpayer’s sale of certain property to an unconnected purchaser was a supply exempt from value added tax under Schedule 10 to the VAT Act 1994. The hand-down will take place at 9:45am in Courtroom 1.

On Thursday 23rd March the Court will hear the case of R (on the application of Officer W80) v Director General of the Independent Office for Police Conduct and others, on appeal from [2020] EWCA Civ 1301. The Court will consider whether, in the context of police misconduct proceedings, is it open to a reasonable disciplinary panel to make a finding of misconduct if an officer’s honest, but mistaken, belief that his life was threatened was found to be unreasonable. The hearing will begin at 11:00am in Courtroom 1.
