Court of Justice of the European Union judgement - update

Following the judgment of the Court of Justice of the European Union (CJEU) last month, we have started to write to capped members who we believe are affected by the ruling.

We will be writing in tranches over the coming weeks, so members who believe they are affected, but do not receive a letter immediately, do not need to contact us.

The insolvency practitioner's role in the assessment process

The assessment period starts with a qualifying insolvency event. You must file notice of the insolvency – an S120 notice – within 14 days of your appointment or of becoming aware of the existence of the pension scheme. Without that, it’s not possible to make a start on the work that needs to be completed during the assessment period. By law, we exercise the trustees’ rights against the employer during the assessment period. So we need to know about the insolvency as soon as possible.
