From October 2009 the ultimate appeal court in the UK, the House of Lords, will be replaced by a new Supreme Court.  This means that when appealing through the court system any appeal from the Court of Appeal from October will go to the Supreme Court rather than the House of Lords

The Supreme Court will only deal with the judicial functions that the House of Lords used to deal with.  The House of Lords will still exist as part of the law making function of the UK (until such time as this is amended or modified by Parliament)

Diagrams of the court system in learning materials should replace ‘House of Lords’ at the pinnacle of the diagram with ‘Supreme Court’
