Probably not because that doesn't sound like a case that would be appealed from the English criminal and civil courts, it also doesn't sound like it would be of any constitutional importance.
Oh, and I doubt most Native American's would be ill-educated enough to sue Britain considering that Britain agreed not to expand beyond the Appalachian Mountains in order to preserve Native lands.
Completely agree. All part of Blair's toxic legacy. He had no idea what he was doing, no knowledge of history, just some vague manifesto pledge to reform the House of Lords, which meant he felt compelled to rearrange a constitution he didn't understand on the back of an envelope. We will be paying the price for the last 13 years of New Labour for many years to come.
The court of appeal has more than 3 Judges, it just that 3 sit on cases. As the HoL hears fewer and more important cases it needs to have a variation in the number of Judges fielded. Sometimes it is only 3, sometimes the full nine. But always an odd number.
In that very case, nine law lords sat, out of twelve, and the decision split 6-3. If twelve law lords had sat who is to say that the decision could not have been a tie, or different majority completely owing to a larger number of voices?
If the Court of Appeal can operate smoothly with three judges, then the Supreme Court should be well able to function with five.

Really? There was 12 Lords of Appeal in Ordinary, and there is 12 members of the supreme court.

First of all there is only 9 law lords, not 12.

Yes but it allows a greater amount of views and a larger number is important in some cases such as Holley

Could seven judges not handle the workload or, for that matter, five?
