The Supreme Court is to sit in Cardiff, Wales for the first time, from 22-25 July. It will sit in the Tŷ Hywel building in the National Assembly. Lady Hale, president of the Supreme Court, will preside over three cases, including one on solicitors’ negligence. She will be joined by the deputy president, Lord Reed, as well as Lord Lloyd-Jones, Lord Sales and Lord Thomas of Cwmgiedd (the former Lord Chief Justice of England and Wales who is a member of the Supreme Court’s supplementary panel). The court has previously sat in Scotland in 2017 and in Northern Ireland in 2018. Lady Hale said: ‘This means that we will have sat in all four parts of the United Kingdom.’
