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.

Clearview AI Inc (Appellant) v The Information Commissioner (Respondent) (external link)
The Appellant appeals the decision of the Upper Tribunal (Justice Heather Williams DBE, Judge Thomas Church and Judge Judith Butler) dated 6 October 2025, allowing in part the Information Commissioner’s appeal against the decision of the First-tier Tribunal made in 2023 to the effect that the Information Commissioner lacked jurisdiction to issue the enforcement notice and monetary penalty notice that it issued to Clearview AI Inc in 2022. Privacy International is an Intervener.
This matter pertains to the interpretation of domestic and EU legislation: the UK General Data Protection Regulation and the General Data Protection Regulation. The issue is to what extent the processing of the personal data of UK data subjects by a private company based outside the UK is excluded from the scope of regulation, including where such processing is carried out in the context of its foreign clients’ national security or criminal law enforcement activities.
