In Coloroll Pension
Trustees Ltd v Russell (28 September 1994) EOR58A, the European Court of
Justice rules that trustees of occupational pension schemes are bound by
Article 119 of the EC Treaty in the same way as employers.
The issues
This important test case on the application of
the principle of equal pay and treatment in light of the European Court's
decision in the Barber case (see EOR32A) arose
out of the financial collapse of the Coloroll Group, which led to the
appointment of receivers. |
