Yes, the Supreme Court's jurisdiction is the UK, so affects all three law areas within the UK.

The recent rulings were in the High Court in Northern Ireland, the Court of Session in Scotland, and the High Court for England and Wales. Each of those are the highest court within their own law area and as far as I understand it have equal legal standing to one another.

You can't say that the Scottish ruling only applies to Scotland and then say the Northern Ireland ruling can apply to Westminster and Parliament and across the UK.

So it will be the Supreme Court that now has to decide due to the different rulings, and I hope everyone agrees with our highest court whichever way it falls, as dragging doubt of law into Brexit shouldn't be anything anybody wants.
