The Court of Appeal (Civil Division) – Live streaming of court hearings
How and why are court cases being streamed online?
Most cases from the Court of Appeal (Civil Division) are live-streamed on the judiciary’s YouTube channel.
Live-streaming of selected cases began in 2019 to improve public access to, and understanding of, the work of the courts. We are working towards making it possible for all appropriate cases to be live streamed.
The Court of Appeal (Civil Division) is currently operating a pilot scheme to allow access to the parties’ skeleton arguments, on a limited number of selected cases that are being live streamed.

Aviator LLC and Ors (Appellants) v Spribe OÜ (Respondent) (external link)
The Appellants seek to appeal the decision of Michael Tappin KC, sitting as a Deputy Judge of the High Court. Judgment was delivered and permission to appeal granted, on 22 May 2026. The case involves complex intellectual property proceedings between the parties concerning competing gambling products.
Aviator claimed copyright subsistence and ownership in an original aircraft‑themed logo used in its game launched in Georgia in 2019, and alleged that Spribe’s later “Aviator” crash game, distributed internationally including in the UK, copied that image and infringed its copyright in multiple jurisdictions. Spribe denied copying, asserting independent design, and relied on its own registered UK trademarks, which Aviator claimed were invalid on grounds of infringement and bad faith.
