Original consultation

Summary

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.

This consultation ran from
20 January 2012 to 11:45pm on 12 April 2012

Consultation description

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 was aimed at

This consultation was particularly aimed at trustees and managers of contracted-out defined benefit schemes and their advisers.
