Editing Practice Statement (section)

==Reception==

[[Louis Blom-Cooper]] described the change brought about by the Practice Statement as being as if the Lords "dropped a pebble into the judicial pool that produced not merely a few ripples but also a seismic wave in English juridicial thinking&nbsp;... the story of that legally historic event displays the carapace of traditional English lawyers' disinclination readily to accept radical change and to the cautious application of such change, once it is ultimately conceded".<ref name="Blom-CooperDickson2009" />

Following the passage of the [[Constitutional Reform Act 2005]], the [[Supreme Court of the United Kingdom]] was established in 2009. It follows the precedent of its predecessor. In ''Austin v Mayor and Burgesses of the London Borough of Southwark''<ref>[https://www.supremecourt.uk/cases/uksc-2009-0037 ''Austin v Mayor and Burgesses of the London Borough of Southwark''] [2010] UKSC 28</ref> Lord Hope, writing for the majority, comments on the Practice Statement's applicability to the new court:

{{Cquote|25. The Supreme Court has not thought it necessary to re-issue the Practice Statement as a fresh statement of practice in the Court’s own name. This is because it has as much effect in this Court as it did before the Appellate Committee in the House of Lords. It was part of the established jurisprudence relating to the conduct of appeals in the House of Lords which was transferred to this Court by section 40 of the Constitutional Reform Act 2005.}}
