In the first podcast of our new Pension disputes series, Antonia Pegden, a Senior Associate in our disputes team, discusses the judgment handed down in the recent Mitchells & Butlers rectification case with Pensions Professional Support Consultant, Tim Smith.

In this podcast, Antonia discusses:

    why this judgment is significant;
  • the outcome of the bona fide purchaser defence, run by Mitchells & Butlers (the scheme's principal employer) for the first time in the context of a rectification claim; and
  • the impact of the judge's findings on what constitutes effective consultation with a scheme's actuary on the validity of historic and future rule amendments.]
