The pinnacle of legal reasoning, the UK Supreme Court, comes under the microscope of Brice Dickson, Emeritus Professor of Law, Queen’s University Belfast, in this week’s NLJ.
Dickson looks at the composition (the ‘who’), the range of cases tackled in 2022 (the ‘what’) and the decisions made (the ‘how’ and ‘why’), in this forensic exploration of the court last year. How is the decision-making divided, and who sits on what case?
He notes some interesting points; for example, there were dissenting judgments in only three cases: ‘It is clearer than ever before that the Supreme Court is increasingly speaking with a united voice.’
