Article summary

Pensions analysis: The Upper Tribunal (UT) held that the First-tier Tribunal (FTT) had been wrong to strike out the appellant’s reference in relation to penalties imposed by the Pensions Regulator (TPR) for non-compliance with the employer’s automatic enrolment duties. The FTT had been wrong to assume, on the basis of an earlier decision, that there was an irrebuttable presumption that a notice issued by TPR was received.
