Baugniet v Capita Employee Benefits Ltd and another [2017] EWHC 501 (Ch), [2017] All ER (D) 167 (Mar)

The Chancery Division allowed, in part, an appeal, under s 151(4) of the Pension Schemes Act 1993, against the Pension Ombudsman’s decision, which raised issues of law in the context of the claimant’s pension transfer, namely the legal significance and consequences of delay and (ii) whether there was a legal right to or requirement of informed consent.
