Supreme Court

A council trying to block a hotel from housing asylum seekers has confirmed its plan to appeal directly to the Supreme Court.

“It is inexcusable,” a judge said of the Supreme Court’s actions.

The appellate judges put their decision on hold until the Supreme Court rules.

In June, the Supreme Court ruled 6-3 that parents have a right to temporarily pull their children out of classes that offend their religious beliefs, empowering them to object to books or lessons at school.

In 2022, Supreme Court judges ruled that the Scottish government cannot hold an independence referendum without the UK government's consent.
