UK Supreme Court is a State Owned entity based in the UK. Founded in 2009, it operates with approximately 30 employees and is primarily involved in the administration of justice. The court functions as the final court of appeal in the United Kingdom for all civil cases, and for criminal cases originating in England, Wales and Northern Ireland.
On March 12, 2026, the UK Supreme Court launched its new Judicial Diversity & Inclusion Strategy 2026-2030, which builds on the Court’s first strategy published in 2021. The strategy outlines how the UK’s apex court works to improve diversity within its organization and the wider legal sphere. Previously, on March 9, the Supreme Court confirmed its dismissal of appeals by Spain and Zimbabwe against a Court of Appeal decision. This ruling held that states cannot resist the registration of ICSID Convention arbitration awards on sovereign immunity grounds, deeming it inconsistent with their obligations under the Convention. The Supreme Court gave this judgment on March 4, 2026. Also on March 9, the Court marked International Women’s Day, noting that in 1911, when IWD began, it would take another eight years for the Sex Disqualification Removal Act (1919) to allow women to practice law, sit on juries, or become civil servants.
