2011 Judgments of the Supreme Court of the United Kingdom
Encyclopedia
This is a list of the judgements given by the Supreme Court of the United Kingdom in the year 2011 as of 23rd March. So far 19 cases have been decided and these are ordered by Neutral citation.
The table lists judgments made by the court and the opinions of the judges in each case. Judges are treated as having concurred in another's judgment when they either formally attach themselves to the judgment of another or speak only to acknowledge their concurrence with one or more judges. Any judgment which reaches a conclusion which differs from the majority on one or more major points of the appeal has been treated as dissent.
Because every judge in the court is entitled to hand down a judgment, it is not uncommon for 'factions' to be formed who reach the same conclusion in different ways, or for all members of the court to reach the same conclusion in different ways. The table does not reflect this.
