Short/Brief Note

Solution

The British Supreme Court is the highest court of appeals in the United Kingdom. It serves as the final authority on legal disputes but does not have the power to declare laws unconstitutional, as the UK Parliament is sovereign.

The Constitution of the UK is not written and does not have supreme status. Laws made by the British Parliament apply to all of the UK, and the Supreme Court must interpret and apply these laws without overriding them. Thus, while it is the top appellate court, its role is not judicial review but rather ensuring proper legal interpretation within the framework set by Parliament.
