Unit 2.1: Occupational Pensions Legislation and Its Effect on the Trust

Unit 2.1 covers the statutory framework a pension scheme operates inside. It looks at the main occupational pensions legislation and what it requires of trustees, the ways pension law can override the trust deed and impose obligations regardless of what the deed says, and the wider legislation that touches pension schemes without being pensions law as such, including equality, data protection and employment provisions. The practical point running through the unit is that a trustee cannot answer a question from the deed alone, because statute sits on top of it.
