Corporate Information

Planning and governance 

To support the Chief Executive in both her statutory responsibilities and her duties as an Accounting Officer, the UKSC and JCPC's internal governance structure comprises a Management Board, an Audit Committee, a Remuneration Committee and a Health and Safety Committee. The administration's annual Business Plan, Mission and Strategic Objectives can be found below.

Complementing the work of the Management Board, a Strategic Advisory Board was established in 2016, comprising the President, the Deputy President, one other Justice appointed by the President, the Chief Executive, the Director of Corporate Services, the Registrar and the UKSC's two Non-Executive Directors. Its remit is to consider the strategic direction of the Court and to approve and review the UKSC's Strategic Framework. This Board has no direct role in managing the judicial or non-judicial functions of the Court.

UK Supreme Court Impersonation Scams

We have been made aware of an increase in scammers contacting people using the details of the UK Supreme Court and other government departments to extort money.

Scammers will:

• Claim that you are involved in a legal case with the court, but this is not true - you will know if you have a legal case with the Court.
• Clone genuine phone numbers to make threatening calls asking for money. In some cases, people have been asked to look up the Court's website to 'verify' that the number they are being called from is a real phone number.
• Use The Supreme Court of the United Kingdom's name, logo, names of people who work for the UK Supreme Court, our address and telephone number, which will make them look very convincing.
• Use genuine looking email addresses. Emails from the Court will only ever come from addresses ending supremecourt.uk
• Say the Court are working with HMRC, local councils, the police or UK Visa and Immigration, to demand money and threaten arrest. We do not work with these organisations or arrest people.

Do not disclose your personal details or pay any money to anyone contacting you claiming to be from the Court.
