Justice on demand

The Supreme Court has launched an iPlayer-type service. Currently, the court live-streams judgments in real time through its website. As of this week, however, recordings of hearings from the previous 12 months will be available to view on demand. “Now justice can be seen to be done at a time which suits you,” said Lord Neuberger, the court’s President. The footage, which includes Privy Council proceedings, can be watched via a link on the case’s page on the court’s website.
