Is the final court of appeal of the UK and replaced the Law Lords. Due to parliamentary sovereignty cannot overturn primary legislation, but can overturn secondary legislation, if it is found to be ultra vires (illegal). Created by the outgoing Labour Government in Oct 2009 with the express mandate of making the life of all subsequent Tory Governments an absolute nightmare. The only qualification required of the appointed 12 judges is that they be complete and utter wankers.
Appellant A: Do you know which of those Supreme Court judges are sitting on our case.
Appellant B: No, and I wouldn't raise your hopes to high, I'm told they don't know their arses from their elbows.
Appellant A: I guess they'll just lean on their elbows!
Appellant B: No, and I wouldn't raise your hopes to high, I'm told they don't know their arses from their elbows.
Appellant A: I guess they'll just lean on their elbows!

The official name of the court building at Kent and Wellington Streets in Ottawa, Ontario, Canada. Sometimes it is colloquially and erroneously called "The Supreme Court Building" (even by experienced journalists) because it houses the Supreme Court of Canada. But it is officially called the "Supreme Court and Federal Courts Building" because the Federal Court of Appeal and the Federal Court also both regularly sit in their own courtrooms within the building.
I'm going to the Supreme Court and Federal Courts Building to watch a Federal Court of Appeal hearing.
