Focus of the Day Article:
Judges were discriminated against on the grounds of age by changes to their pension scheme, the Court of Appeal has held. About 230 judges, including six High Court judges, had claimed they were treated less favourably than older judges when a revised judicial pension scheme took effect in April 2015.

Their claims were previously upheld by the employment tribunal and Employment Appeal Tribunal.
