University of Nottingham v Eyett (High Court (Chancery Division)) November 1998

Reversed a determination of the Pensions Ombudsman concerning the amount of information that should be provided to an employee in relation to the timing of his retirement. The employer had not been guilty of maladministration in failing to provide enough information to enable the employee to appreciate that he would have received a better pension had he deferred his retirement by just one day. The university was not in breach of the implied duty to maintain the relationship of trust and confidence between employer and employee. An inadvertent omission to warn the complainant that he might be making a financial mistake in seeking to retire on the first available date after his 60th birthday did not breach that implied term.
