Seven justices, including the president Lord Reed, are due to hear The Manchester Ship Canal Company v United Utilities Water over two days at the beginning of the week. The nuisance claim concerns the discharge of untreated foul water into the canal.
Five justices, including Lord Reed, will then hear two cases over consecutive days. They are R (on the application of Palmer) v Northern Derbyshire Magistrates’ Court & Anor, a judicial review arising from a redundancy dispute, and R (on the application of Toraane & Anor) v Secretary of State for the Home Department, concerning whether Palestinian refugees from Syria were unlawfully excluded from the government’s resettlement scheme.
The court has previously sat in Edinburgh, Belfast and Cardiff.
