Hearings in the Supreme Court are now shown live on the Court’s website.
On Tuesday 22nd February, the Supreme Court will hear the case of Competition and Markets Authority v Pfizer Inc and Flynn Pharma Ltd, on appeal from [2020] EWCA 617. The issue is phrased as follows: ‘When considering what costs to award following an appeal before the Competition Appeal Tribunal from an infringement decision of the Competition and Markets Authority, is there a starting point and if so, what is it? In particular, was the Court of Appeal correct to decide that there is a starting point that no order for costs should be made against a regulator if it has been unsuccessful, except for a good reason, or is the starting point instead that an order for costs should be made against the regulator where it is unsuccessful?’ The hearing will begin at 10:30 in Courtroom One.
On Wednesday 23rd February, judgment will be handed down in Craig (AP) v Her Majesty’s Advocate (for the Government of the United States of America) and another, on appeal from [2020] HCJAC 22. The judgment will have the citation [2022] UKSC 6 and will be handed down at 09:45. The Court were asked whether the failure to bring into force certain amendments to the Extradition Act 2003 in Scotland gives rise to a breach of article 8 of the European Convention on Human Rights.
