Newcastle is the most populous city in the North East, and forms the core of the Tyneside conurbation, the eighth most populous urban area in the United Kingdom. Newcastle is a member of the English Core Cities Group and is a member of the Eurocities network of European cities. Newcastle was part of the county of Northumberland until 1400, when it became a county of itself, a status it retained until becoming part of Tyne and Wear in 1974. The regional nickname and dialect for people from Newcastle and the surrounding area is Geordie. Newcastle also houses Newcastle University, a member of the Russell Group, as well as Northumbria University.
The city of Newcastle upon Tyne developed around the Roman settlement Pons Aelius and was named after the castle built in 1080 by Robert Curthose, William the Conqueror's eldest son. The city grew as an important centre for the wool trade in the 14th century, and later became a major coal mining area. The port developed in the 16th century and, along with the shipyards lower down the River Tyne, was amongst the world's largest shipbuilding and ship-repairing centres. Newcastle's economy includes corporate headquarters, learning, digital technology, retail, tourism and cultural centres, from which the city contributes £13 billion towards the United Kingdom's GVA. Among its icons are Newcastle United football club and the Tyne Bridge. Since 1981 the city has hosted the Great North Run, a half marathon which attracts over 57,000 runners each year.

Liverpool is a maritime city in northwest England, where the River Mersey meets the Irish Sea. A key trade and migration port from the 18th to the early 20th centuries, it's also, famously, the hometown of The Beatles. Ferries cruise the waterfront, where the iconic mercantile buildings known as the Three Graces – Royal Liver Building, Cunard Building and Port of Liverpool Building – stand on the Pier Head. The local authority is Liverpool City Council, the most populous local government district within the metropolitan county of Merseyside and the largest within the Liverpool City Region. Liverpool historically lay within the ancient hundred of West Derby in the south west of the county of Lancashire. It became a borough in 1207 and a city in 1880. In 1889, Liverpool became a county borough independent of Lancashire.
Liverpool sits on the eastern side of the Mersey Estuary and its growth as a major port was paralleled by the expansion of the city throughout the Industrial Revolution. The city of Liverpool celebrated its 800th anniversary in 2007, and was European Capital of Culture together with Stavanger, Norway, in 2008. Several areas of the city centre were granted World Heritage Site status by UNESCO in 2004. The Liverpool Maritime Mercantile City includes the Pier Head, Albert Dock, and William Brown Street.
The popularity of The Beatles and other groups from the Merseybeat era contributes to Liverpool's status as a tourist destination. Liverpool is also the home of two Premier League football clubs, Liverpool and Everton, matches between the two being known as the Merseyside derby. The city's namesake club is the sole British club to win five European Cups. The world-famous Grand National horse race takes place annually at Aintree Racecourse on the outskirts of the city. Liverpool's status as a port city has contributed to its diverse population, which, historically, was drawn from a wide range of peoples, cultures, and religions, particularly from Ireland and Wales. The city is also home to the oldest Black African community in the country and the oldest Chinese community in Europe.
Transport in Liverpool is primarily centred on the city's road and rail networks, both of which are extensive and provide links across the United Kingdom. As a major city, Liverpool has direct road links with many other areas within England. To the east, the M62 motorway connects Liverpool with Hull and along the route provides links to several large cities, including Manchester, Leeds and Bradford. Liverpool is served by two separate rail networks. The local rail network is managed and run by Merseyrail and provides links throughout Merseyside and beyond (see Local Travel below), while the national network, which is managed by Network Rail, provides Liverpool with connections to major towns and cities across the England. The Port of Liverpool is one of Britain's largest ports, providing passenger ferry services across the Irish Sea to Belfast, Dublin and the Isle of Man. Liverpool John Lennon Airport, which is located in the south of the city, provides Liverpool with direct air connections across the United Kingdom and Europe.

Rock Advertising Limited (Respondent) v MWB Business Exchange Centres Limited (Appellant)
[2018] UKSC 24
UKSC 2016/0152
Rock Advertising Limited (Respondent) v MWB Business Exchange Centres Limited (Appellant)
On appeal from the Court of Appeal Civil Division (England and Wales)
The Respondent occupied as licensee premises managed by the Appellant under a written licence agreement. The agreement contained a clause stipulating that all variations to the licence must be made in writing. The Respondent fell behind on its payments, and representatives of the parties discussed rescheduling the Respondent’s debt over the telephone on 27 February 2012. That same day the Respondent paid the Appellant the first instalment due under this proposed schedule. On 29 February the Appellant’s representative informed the Respondent that this was less than the licence fee due. No further payments had been made when on 30 March 2012 the Appellant purported to exercise its right under the licence agreement and locked the Respondent out of the Premises and shortly afterwards gave notice to terminate the agreement. The Appellant issued proceedings to recover the arrears. The Respondent argued that the licence had been orally varied on 27 February 2012 so that it had not been in breach of the varied agreement as of 30 March 2012. The judge held that an oral agreement had been entered into on 27 February 2012, supported by consideration in the practical benefit that the Respondent would honour some and hopefully all of its obligations, but that this was not enforceable due to the anti-oral variation clause contained in the licence.
The issues are:
Whether an agreement in writing which contains an anti-oral variation clause can be varied other than in accordance with the terms of that clause.
Whether the Court of Appeal was wrong to follow a previous Court of Appeal decision in which a relevant contrary authority had not been cited, or a later Court of Appeal decision which considered both earlier decisions and rejected that contrary authority but did so obiter.
Whether on the findings of fact by the trial judge, there was a practical benefit which could amount to consideration at law, given the principle that a promise to pay an existing liability cannot amount to good consideration per Re Selectmove [1995] 1 WLR 474.
The Supreme Court unanimously allows the appeal. Lord Sumption gives the lead judgment, with which Lady Hale, Lord Wilson and Lord Lloyd-Jones agree. Lord Briggs gives a concurring judgment

Pimlico Plumbers Ltd and another (Appellants) v Smith (Respondent)
[2018] UKSC 29
UKSC 2017/0053
Pimlico Plumbers Ltd and another (Appellants) v Smith (Respondent)
The respondent is a plumber who undertook plumbing work for the first appellant between 25th August 2005 and 28th April 2011. The first appellant is a full-service plumbing and maintenance company and the second appellant is its founder and owner. At the material time, the first appellant had 75 office staff and a bank of 125 contractors (including the respondent) that it could call on to carry out jobs for its customers. The respondent commenced proceedings in the Employment Tribunal on 1st August 2011, claiming that he was unfairly or wrongly dismissed by the first appellant. He also claims direct disability discrimination, discrimination arising from disability and failure to make reasonable adjustments. A pre-hearing review was listed to address whether the respondent was an employee of the first appellant, whether he was a worker, whether his working situation met the definition of employment in section 83(2)(a) of the Equality Act 2010, or whether he was self-employed in business on his own account. The Employment Tribunal decided that the respondent was not an employee, but that he was a worker and his working situation met the definition of employment in section 83(2)(a) of the Equality Act. Accordingly, it had jurisdiction to consider the complaints of direct disability discrimination, discrimination by reason of failure to make reasonable adjustments, and in respect of holiday pay as well as in respect of unauthorised deductions from wages. The appellants’ appeals to the Employment Appeal Tribunal and the Court of Appeal were dismissed.
The issues are:
Whether the respondent was a 'worker' within the meaning of the Employment Rights Act 1996 and Regulation 2 of the Working Time Regulations 1998;
Whether the respondent was in employment within s.83(2)(a) of the Equality Act 2010.
The Supreme Court unanimously dismisses the appeal. Lord Wilson gives the judgment with which Lady Hale, Lord Hughes, Lady Black and Lord Lloyd-Jones agree. The tribunal was entitled to conclude that Mr Smith qualified as a ‘worker’ under s.230(3)(b) of the Employment Rights Act 1996 (and by analogy the relevant provisions of the Working Time Regulations 1998 and the Equality Act 2010), and his substantive claims can proceed to be heard.
