ITV plc and others v Pensions Regulator and another [2015] EWCA Civ 228; [2015] WLR (D) 139
‘The Upper Tribunal had a discretion to allow the Pensions Regulator to raise new allegations on a reference which were not contained in a warning notice issued pursuant to section 96 of the Pensions Act 2004. The discretion should be exercised based on a consideration of all the relevant factors in the case, weighing up all the facts and circumstances, and not just the narrow question whether the Pensions Regulator had good reason for seeking to enlarge its case.’

‘S 8 of the Child Support Act 1991 (CSA 1991) circumscribes the role of the courts in deciding child maintenance. This act trumps the provisions in the MCA 1973 and Children Act 1989 s 15 / Schedule l save in certain circumstances (e.g. where an existing maintenance order has been made less than one year earlier – s 4 (10) (aa) CSA 1991). The combined effect of s10 CSA 1991 and § 3 (1) of the Child Support (Maintenance Arrangements and Jurisdiction) Regulations 1992 (SI 1992/2645) is that from the effective date of a maintenance calculation made pursuant to CSA 1991, any existing court order ceases to have effect.’
