Government Plans to Reform UK Supreme Court

London: It has been reported that the UK Government is planning to overhaul the Supreme Court, which was established by the Constitutional Reform Act 2005 and began its work in 2009.

The latest reforms are reportedly being proposed because of a perception by some politicians that the idea behind the creation of the Court in its current form was misconceived.
