Most of the cases were heard in the <a href="/wiki/Judicial_functions_of_the_House_of_Lords" title="Judicial functions of the House of Lords">House of Lords</a> before judgments were given in the new Supreme Court.

Judges are treated as having concurred in another's judgment when they either formally attach themselves to the judgment of another or speak only to acknowledge their concurrence with one or more judges. Any judgment which reaches a conclusion which differs from the majority on one or more major points of the appeal has been treated as dissent. </p><p>Because every judge in the court is entitled to hand down a judgment, it is not uncommon for groups of judges to reach the same conclusion (i.e. whether to allow or dismiss the appeal) in materially different ways, for example if a panel of 9 judges heard a case with 4 judges dismissing the appeal, 3 finding for the appellant on one point and 2 on another - the table should show 5 judges as the majority and the 4 judges who actually held the more mainstream view as dissenting. The table also does not reflect how significantly judges differed, or how much of a contribution a particular judge made to the overall judgment. </p> <meta property="mw:PageProp/toc" /> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="2009_case_summaries">2009 case summaries</h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=List_of_judgments_of_the_Supreme_Court_of_the_United_Kingdom_delivered_in_2009&action=edit&section=1" title="Edit section: 2009 case summaries"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>Unless otherwise noted, cases were heard by a panel of 5 judges. </p><p>Cases involving Scots law are highlighted in orange.
