My understanding is that Kiera Bell's case was in the High Court, this was in the Court of Appeal, and Kiera is now going to take it to the Supreme Court, which is the highest court in the UK, and that will be the final trial. Is this correct? Could a Brit explain the UK process a bit more?

I'm a Brit but not a legal person. I think if she wants to take it further her team have to apply to the court to be granted leave to appeal just as the Tavi did on the previous judgement. I think you have to outline the basis upon which you want to appeal further. I believe an application to appeal can be turned down if it's felt to not have merit at which point the most recent judgement stands.
