O'Brien v Ministry of Justice [2017] UKSC 46
Appeal against a decision by the Court of Appeal, upholding a judgment by the EAT which said that the Claimant, who had won the right under the Council Directive 97/81/EC and national law to a pension on terms equivalent to a comparable full-time judge, could only count the period from the year 2000 when calculating the amount of his pension, and not from the date he started in 1978. The Supreme Court unanimously decided to refer a question to the CJEU.
