I have posted an update on this HERE.
There is an interesting issue as to which law takes precedence - EU law or UK law.

So...
... do you think that the laws of the country should be so complicated that not even an informed expert can reach the correct answer?
EU or UK
Looks like 5 out of 7 Judges thought that EU law trumped UK law.
Not sure why we're surprised as most of us now know that most of our laws are decided by Brussels i.e. almost any decision by the UK Courts can be appealed using the EU Human Rights legislation. This was the legislation you may remember from which Cameron vowed to opt out once we'd legislated for our own Bill of Rights.
I see that Assange is going to appeal the decision. I thought the Supreme Court was now the highest Court in the land (formerly the House of Lords) so will his appeal be heard in the Supreme Court or will he appeal to our masters in Brussels?
