Pensions law

State pensions are the largest item in the UK social security budget, costing £96.7 billion in 2017/18. In the same year, 45.6 million people were members of UK occupational pension schemes (out of a total population of 66.4 million) and the total amount saved into workplace schemes in 2018 was £90.4 billion. A consequence of the pensions sector’s large size has been that pensions law and social security law have become increasingly specialised areas of practice. Yet despite their social and economic importance and the fascinating legal issues they generate, pensions have not been the subject of sustained academic attention. This book starts to fill this gap by initiating a dialogue between practitioners and scholars working on pensions law and policy, groups who have much to learn from one another.

This title is included in Bloomsbury Professional's Pensions Law online service.

Reviews for Pensions: Law, Policy and Practice

A fascinating read ... the book's main strengths are in bringing together a diverse range of academics, legal practitioners and legal scholars to provide an enlightening and thought-provoking collection of chapters discussing pensions policy, law and practice. Drawing on a range of policy and practice examples, it provides a detailed account of complex debates and legal considerations in relation to pensions, showing the challenges of competing demands on the various roles and responsibilities of different parties and interest groups in the field. It is a well written and informative text. -- Liam Foster, University of Sheffield * Journal of Social Security Law *
