Lawful to force retirement at 65

The High Court has handed down its long awaited decision in the Heyday case in which it had been asked to decide whether it was lawful to force a member of staff to retire at 65. The High Court has held that it is lawful under UK law to force a member of staff to retire at 65.

I previously covered this case when it was before the European Court of Justice in March and I have provided a link to this here.

The BBC have also given some coverage of the latest decision before the High Court and this can be viewed here.
