The Supreme Court officially came into being on 1 October 2009 following completion of a five-year implementation programme.   The aims of the programme were:

• To remove the apex of the judicial system from the Houses of Parliament to cement its separation from the legislature.
  

• To increase the visibility of our highest Court and improve public access.

• To provide facilities, services and a working environment suited to the highest court in the country while reviving an important historic building in the heart of London.
