Webinar recording: Pensions Rectification – Evidence and Pitfalls

The recording for our pensions webinar on rectification is now available to watch. Watch Keith Bryant QC and Michael Uberoi consider what evidence needs to be put before the court and how to avoid some of the pitfalls.

Keith Bryant QC and Michael Uberoi cover:

• What evidence needs to be put before the court when the alleged mistake is not referred to in the documents?
• How does a Claimant go about establishing the necessary mutual intention in such cases?
• When is a mistake a mistake as to legal effect, and when is it a mistake as to consequences? – how to approach this distinction in pension rectification cases.
• The use of confidential opinions – how the courts presently view them.
• How to establish the necessary subjective intention of the parties, post FSHC.
