Webber v Department for Education [2016] EWHC 2519 (Ch), [2016] All ER (D) 153 (Oct)

The Chancery Division allowed the appellant’s appeal against a determination of the Pensions Ombudsman, in so far as it concerned limitation of a pension scheme’s ability to claim back overpayments of pension. The cut-off date for limitation purposes had been the date of receipt by the ombudsman of a letter sent by the scheme, in which the scheme made clear that it opposed the allegations contained in the appellant’s complaint.
