Access to the law of pensions: The lessons from National Grid v. Laws

Abstract

This article uses the litigation in National Grid v. Laws to demonstrate two aspects of the law surrounding occupational pension schemes: the wide range of interpretations that are possible when construing pension scheme rules; and the enormous difficulties faced by scheme members when seeking to assert an interpretation of those rules that runs counter to an employer’s major commercial interests.
