The Supreme Court welcomed a record 105,000 visitors through its doors last year, a third more than in 2013/14. Its fifth annual report and accounts, laid before Parliament last week, also records how the court sat for more days, up from 127 to 136 sitting days, but heard fewer appeals and gave fewer judgments: down from 120 to 89 and from 115 to 81 respectively. This may be due to longer hearings, more appeals with seven or nine Justices on the panel, and fewer linked appeals.
