UK Supreme Court is a State Owned entity based in the UK. Founded in 2009, it operates with approximately 30 employees and is primarily involved in the administration of justice. The court functions as the final court of appeal in the United Kingdom for all civil cases, and for criminal cases originating in England, Wales and Northern Ireland.
On March 17, 2026, North Antrim MP Jim Allister warned that a new European court ruling on gender recognition could override a landmark UK Supreme Court decision, sparking constitutional concerns in Northern Ireland. Previously, on March 12, 2026, the UK Supreme Court launched its Judicial Diversity & Inclusion Strategy 2026-2030. This strategy outlines the apex court's work to improve diversity both within the organization and the wider legal sphere, building on its first strategy from 2021. Earlier, on March 9, 2026, the Supreme Court dismissed appeals by Spain and Zimbabwe, confirming that states cannot use sovereign immunity to resist the registration of ICSID Convention arbitration awards. The court considered that maintaining adjudicative immunity from English courts' jurisdiction was inconsistent with states' obligations under the ICSID Convention.
