Supreme Court of the UK

The Supreme Court of the UK is the highest court in the country, serving as the final authority on legal disputes and constitutional issues. It hears cases of the greatest public or constitutional importance, providing definitive interpretations of law. Established in 2009, it separates the judiciary from Parliament to maintain independence. The court reviews decisions from lower courts, ensuring laws are applied consistently and fairly, and it helps clarify legal principles that impact the entire nation. Its rulings are binding, shaping the development of UK law and protecting legal rights.
