Today marks the tenth birthday of the Supreme Court. Yes, that’s right, the UK’s top bench is officially a decade old — and what a decade it has been.

Since its formation in October 2009, it’s played host to some of the country’s most important constitutional cases, including the triggering of Article 50 and, more recently, the prorogation of parliament, as well as key criminal law matters such as the doctrine of joint enterprise in R v Jogee.

There’s been some lighter moments, too. A namecheck for Legal Cheek in Lord Neuberger’s valedictory ceremony, Lord Sumption’s colourful ties and Lady Hale’s eye-catching brooch collection.

To mark this significant milestone, we’ve dug through the archives at Legal Cheek HQ and found ten top pieces of classic Supreme Court content for your reading pleasure…
