The court sat outside of London for the first time earlier this year when it sat in Edinburgh.

A spokesperson for the court said: “Following our successful visit to Edinburgh, we can confirm that planning is underway for the UK Supreme Court to sit in Belfast next year so that more people can see the Court in action without needing to travel to London.

“The details of the sitting dates and the cases that will be heard are currently being confirmed and more details will be provided in due course.”
