Draft Occupational Pension Schemes and Pension Protection Fund (Equality) (Amendment) Regulations 2012
This consultation concerns amendments to the Equality Act 2010 and the Pensions Act 2004 to reflect development in the case law of the Court of Justice of the European Union. These developments in European law mean that, where a pension scheme is equalising its benefits as between men and women, it has to assume a notional comparator where the inequality is a result of the Guaranteed Minimum Pension (GMP) provisions in the Pension Schemes Act 1993.
Who this consultation is aimed at
This consultation is particularly aimed at trustees and managers of contracted-out defined benefit schemes and their advisers.
