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.
The UK Supreme Court is currently considering case UKSC/2026/0037, Massa and others (Respondents) v Fédération Internationale de l'Automobile (Appellant), which questions whether the tort of unlawful means conspiracy can be founded on a civil wrong not independently actionable by the claimant. On April 23, 2026, the court addressed the case of Commissioners for His Majesty's Revenue and Customs (Respondent) v Fisher and another (Appellants), focusing on the correct construction of anti-avoidance provisions in section 739 and following of relevant legislation. Previously, on April 22, 2026, the Supreme Court unanimously dismissed an appeal seeking to revoke adoption orders under the High Court's parens patriae jurisdiction, confirming that such a power does not exist outside the statutory scheme in the Adoption and Children Act 2002 ("ACA 2002"). This ruling upheld the principle that adoption is "final and permanent" and rejected a woman’s attempt to revoke the adoption of two sisters who sought to reconnect with their birth mother. Earlier on the same day, the court dismissed an appeal from a group of businesses arguing that government furlough payments from the pandemic should not be deducted from business interruption payments.
