Tim Green instructed by TPR in precedent setting inquiry

The Pensions Regulator (“TPR”) has successfully concluded its first ever prosecution for general economic crime offences arising out of systematic abuse of the automatic enrolment scheme for workplace pensions.

On 26 October at Derby Crown Court HHJ Shant QC, the Recorder of Derby, imposed fines and costs of £270, 000 on Workchain Limited, an employment agency which admitted unauthorised access to workers pension data to opt them out of their workplace pensions unlawfully. Seven directors and senior mangers were also sentenced to suspended prison sentences, community sentences and ordered to pay a total of £20,000 costs.

Tim Green was briefed by TPR.
