Determinations

Appealing against a decision

Any determination made by the Determinations Panel can be appealed. A directly affected party has 28 days from the date of notification of the decision to make an appeal. An appeal is made to the Pensions Regulator Tribunal and is called a 'reference'.

During the 28 days the Regulator is not normally allowed to use the power decided at the determination except where it is a power that can have immediate effect, for instance one that is needed because there is an immediate risk to the interests of the members or the assets of the scheme.  The powers detailed in Section 96(6) can all have immediate effect, even when heard under the standard procedure.
