Abstract
On the 1st October 2009, the highest court in the United Kingdom ceased to be the Appellate Committee of the House of Lords and became the Supreme Court of the United Kingdom. The Act which establishes the new Supreme Court (the Constitutional Reform Act 2005) emphasises that there is a duty on “the Lord Chancellor and other Ministers of the Crown and those with responsibility for matters relating to the judiciary or otherwise to the administration of justice” to “uphold the continued independence of the judiciary.” This paper offers some reflections on the possible impact of this constitutional change on judicial independence, judicial activism and the transparency of the judiciary in the UK.
