Our Winter 2015 Quarterly Legal Update is designed to provide an essential overview to both employers and trustees of significant developments affecting occupational pension provision in the UK.

We will consider the key legal issues arising over the last quarter impacting on the pensions industry (and also take a look ahead at what the pensions future holds) by concentrating on the following four areas:

  • Pensions reform
  • Legislation
  • Regulatory requirements
  • Case law.

For the levy year 2015/16, the PPF has further strengthened its processes for certifying Type A contingent assets (parent and group company guarantees).  Owing to concerns of misreporting, all schemes that have been classified as “last man standing” on their scheme returns will also be required to confirm to the Pensions Regulator that they have received legal advice regarding their structure.  The practical implications of these changes will be considered as part of our PPF Spotlight.
