Calculating pension loss
Pension loss is notoriously difficult to calculate as a head of damages. In Griffin v Plymouth Hospital NHS Trust, the Court of Appeal found that the pension element of compensation awarded to a former employee of Plymouth Hospital who succeeded in her disability discrimination complaint had been incorrectly assessed.
Ms Griffin had been a member of a final salary pension scheme at the time she left employment and so would have both accrued rights of future loss.
