‘There has long been a tension between two competing public interests: encouraging individuals to save and provide for their financial security in old age on the one hand and providing recourse for creditors in the event of debtors being unable to pay their debts on the other. Historically, the legislative trend has generally been in favour of the creditor. The Welfare Reform and Pensions Act 1999 (“WRPA 99”), which came into force on 29 May 2000, appeared to provide fundamental changes to the relationship between these two competing policies. In 2012, however, when these reforms came before the court in Raithatha v Williamson the result indicated that WRPA 99 may have been far less significant than was previously supposed. If Williamson was correctly decided, then the changes to pension law introduced in the March 2014 Budget will have effectively unravelled those reforms altogether. Alaric Watson explains.’

‘In Registrar of Companies v Angela Swarbrick, Maurice Moses and Craig Lewis (as Joint Administrators of Gardenprime Limited) [2014] EWHC 1466 (Ch), the High Court provides guidance on the provisions of the Companies Act 2006 which permit the removal of unnecessary material on the Register of Companies and clarifies the extent of the Court’s jurisdiction to control the Registrar of Companies’ functions in this regard. Sarah Clarke explains a decision which is likely to expand the circumstances in which the Registrar will agree to remove material.’
