The UK Supreme Court is the highest court in the United Kingdom, responsible for making final decisions on important legal cases and interpreting laws. It ensures that justice is upheld and provides clarity on complex legal issues, often involving human rights, constitutional matters, and significant public interest. Established in 2009, it replaces the House of Lords as the top court and consists of 12 justices. Their rulings can set important legal precedents that affect laws and policies across the country, making the Supreme Court a crucial part of the UK's legal system and governance.
