Government loses High Court battle over pensions

Yet again the Government has been found wanting as it has another of it's decisions been tried in court.

On this occasion the High Court has ruled that the government was wrong to completely reject the Parliamentary Ombudsman's report into collapsed pension schemes. The Ombudsman, had said last year that the government was "guilty of maladministration".

However, the High Court decision does not mean that the government must compensate an estimated 85,000 people for their loss, but it is highly embarassing, especially for Gordon Brown who has successfully masterminded the destruction of our pensions with his dividend tax.

Although I must add that this wilfull neglect is something that is quite normal from this government. They were held to account by the pensions ombudsman, and found guilty, but this government simply chose to ignore it.

Pure and total arrogance.
