Pension Schemes BillContribution
Under clause 100(8) a purported alteration of a GB scheme is outside the scope of remediation under clauses 101 and 102 if its validity is or has been in issue in legal proceedings in circumstances specified in any of paragraphs (a) to (c). The new subsection (9) clarifies the proceedings which are to count for this purpose: proceedings before a UK court the parties to which are or include both the trustees or managers of the scheme in question and beneficiaries or their representative. The terms used in subsection (9) are intended to have their usual meaning in the law of England and Wales, or Scotland so that, for example, proceedings before a tribunal or proceedings on a complaint to an ombudsman would not count.
