Wilberforce Nugee Pensions Lectures: What does it all mean? Interpretation of pension scheme documents – Lecture 2

Tuesday 14 June 2022
6.30pm - 7.30pm, followed by drinks
Ashworth Centre (and online via Zoom), Lincoln's Inn, London, WC2A 3TL
£75 + VAT | 1.0 CPD

Wilberforce Chambers is delighted to announce the in-person return of the Nugee Pensions Lectures. We invite you to join our pensions team each week in June as they discuss current topics of particular interest. Wilberforce Chambers has a well-established reputation in the field of pensions law, due in large part to the late Edward Nugee QC, to whose memory these lectures are dedicated. The first lecture of 2022 will look at recent developments in pensions and personal bankruptcy; the second covers the interpretation of pensions scheme documents; the third looks at using old law to solve new problems; and the final lecture will explore European pension schemes in a post-Brexit world and the interaction between Sharia law and occupational pensions.

The second session is entitled ‘What does it all mean? Interpretation of pension scheme documents’ by Edward Sawyer and Jennifer Seaman

  • Recent trends in case law on interpretation 
  • Correction of errors: Britvic 
  • Factual matrix and predecessor rules: when are they relevant? 
  • Is s.48 Administration of Justice Act 1985 useful in the pensions context? 

The full programme for this year’s lectures is linked here.
