Bloomsbury Publishing (UK) Pensions: Law Policy and Practice by Edited by Dr Sinead Agnew Edited by Paul S Davies Edited by Charles Mitchell
State pensions are the largest item in the UK social security budget and three-quarters of UK employees are members of a workplace pension scheme. Yet despite their social and economic importance and the fascinating legal issues they generate pensions have not been the subject of sustained academic attention. That gap is addressed by this important collection which examines various aspects of pensions law policy and practice including the regulatory environment trustees’ powers and duties law and social change employment human rights and succession. By facilitating a dialogue between practitioner and academics it moves this crucial area of law into the mainstream of legal scholarship.
