The legal challenge against the Government's imposed switch to the Consumer Price Index (CPI) from the Retail Price Index (RPI) for uprating pensions - to take account of increases in the cost of living - will move to the next stage later on this month.
On 20 February 2012 several trade unions will appeal against the High Court 2-1 majority decision to reject the case for a judicial review of the measure announced by the Chancellor in his first budget in June 2010 - which could reduce the value of pensions by up to 18%: https://www.eversheds.com/uk/home/articles/index1.page?ArticleID=templatedata%5CEversheds%5Carticles%5Cdata%5Cen%5CPensions%5CPensions_speedbrief_RPI_CPI_the_judicial_review_judgment_051211
A demonstration will take place outside the High Court, The Strand WC1 at 8.30am on 20 February.
