The UK Supreme Court will sit in Edinburgh later this year, the first time that it has sat outside London. Several appeals will be heard over four days in June, with at least five of the Supreme Court Justices sitting over the course of the visit. The list of cases to be heard during the visit is in the process of being finalised. The Court will sit in the City Chambers, home of the City of Edinburgh Council, and built originally as the Royal Exchange. The public will be able to attend.
