Subject

The Church says it was not informed of the implications of enrolling a part time minister into the Fund in 2007 and disputes the fairness of the consequences.

The Pensions Ombudsman’s determination and short reasons

The complaint should not be upheld against the Trustee or the Union. They have correctly interpreted the legislation as potentially imposing liability on the Church and were not responsible for the liability arising.
