This case concerns conditions in Hungarian prisons, and the approach to be taken in assessing and relying on assurances as to prison conditions given by the Hungarian authorities. The Supreme Court is asked to decide, when a court is considering whether to make or uphold an extradition order, and is obliged to assess an assurance given to the UK regarding future detention:
                (1) Is there a special test for admitting evidence relating to assurances given to the courts or authorities of countries other than the United Kingdom?
                (2) If so, was the High Court right that the court should exercise very considerable caution before admitting such evidence and that it should only do so if satisfied that the evidence is manifestly credible, directly relevant to the issue to be decided and of real importance for the purpose of that decision?

For the purpose of interpreting a contract for public liability insurance provided by Hanover (the "Policy"), the Supreme Court is asked to consider whether the death of Ms Burnett’s husband:
                
                (1) was brought about by a "deliberate act" within the terms of the Policy and, if so, whether Hanover’s liability to indemnify is excluded by the relevant policy wording; and
                (2) was a consequence of a "wrongful arrest" within the terms of the Policy with the effect that Hanover’s liability is limited to GBP 100,000.

Did the sale and leaseback of a care home involve the disposal of the owner’s entire interest, such that it effectively lost the benefit of zero-rating under paragraph 36(2) of Schedule 10 to the Value Added Tax Act 1994?

(1) Does a child named as a dependent on a parent’s asylum application have any protection from refoulement?
                (2) Can a return order be made under the 1980 Hague Convention even where a child has protection from refoulement?
                (3) Should the High Court be slow to stay an application under the 1980 Hague Convention prior to determination of an application for asylum?
