ABSTRACT
The subject of pensions has often been in the news – the Maxwell scandal recently highlighted the issue of pensions and this was followed almost immediately by considerable media coverage of the mis-selling of pensions by personal pension providers. Then, following on from the Goode Report (‘Pension Law Reform: The Report of the Pensions Law Reform Committee’, Vol 1 Report, Vol 2 Research (1993, HMSO Cmd 2342-1)) came the Pensions Act 1995, which is intended to, and to some extent does, cure many of the evils and problems brought to light by the Robert Maxwell fiasco.
