The Pensions Regulator and the Pensions Ombudsman have shown a robust attitude to finding individual and corporate trustees liable and/or impose
penalties for breaches of legal and statutory duties in respect of the mismanagement (or worse) of occupational pension schemes and the failure to
report and disclose the same.
This is fair enough when it is their own mismanagement which has directly caused loss to the scheme and not otherwise acting as reasonable and
honest trustees in accordance with competent advice.
But what of the position where the trustee is not primarily responsible but becomes aware of breaches, lacks the individual power or the funds to put
matters right and/or to take the necessary advice? When, if at all, will losses and/or penalties accrue? What is the jurisdictional and appeal
processes involved? What can be done to avoid or mitigate any such exposure?
In considering those matters, this forum will touch on:
-The approach of the Pensions Ombudsman (and High Court on appeal) in the recent case of The Optimum Retirement Benefit Plan.
-The approach of the Pensions Regulator to issuing penalties (including by reference to some previous determinations).
-What steps can be taken in mitigation. |
