Date set for Supreme Court to deliver Scottish independence referendum verdict

Judges on the Supreme Court are set to deliver their verdict on the Scottish independence referendum next week, it has been announced. The court in central London will reveal its outcome on Wednesday, November 23, 2022 at 9.45am.

The Scottish Government asked judges to decide whether the Bill relates to "reserved matters" - meaning it is outwith Holyrood's competence.

Nicola Sturgeon wants to hold a second vote on October 19 next year. The outcome of the hearing will determine if the First Minister can legally hold a referendum without the consent of the UK Government.
