Supreme Court (UK)

The Supreme Court of the United Kingdom is the highest court in the country, primarily responsible for deciding the most important legal cases that have significant public or constitutional implications. It hears appeals on points of law from lower courts across England, Wales, Scotland, and Northern Ireland. Its role is to ensure that laws are interpreted and applied consistently, upholding the rule of law. The court does not re-examine the facts of a case, only the legal principles involved. Established in 2009, it operates independently from the government, providing a final and authoritative judicial review.
