Repeal of Retirement Age

And they're out. The draft Employment Equality (Repeal of Retirement Age) Provisions 2011 have been published.

They are fairly succinct, doing pretty much what we all expected. One welcome element is regulation 2, which provides that it is not an age contravention to provide insurance benefits to the under 65s but not the over 65s (this is a superficial summary of a far more detailed regulation).This email is just to send out the link.

I will look out for the best summaries/guides produced by solicitors' firms over the next few days, and send out links.
