Pensions make up many people’s life savings and provide the valuable income that is relied on to live after retirement. The loss or mis-selling of pension savings can have a devastating impact on an individual’s life. However, the costs, in time and money, in pursuing litigation to recover losses can be just as stressful. Mediation provides a potential means of bringing litigation to an end, or indeed of avoiding it altogether, allowing parties to minimise the risks inherent in going to court and keep the costs of resolution down.
IPOS’s mediators assist parties in resolving disputes quickly and with a minimum of fuss so that those involved can get on with their lives. In the realm of pensions and life assurance, the problems that most often arise concern:
mis-selling of pensions
pensions administration, company schemes and self-invested personal pensions (SIPPs)
pensions equalisation (Barber and GRE, 1990 and Foster and Wheeler Ltd and Hanley & Others, 2009)
mis-selling of life insurance and endowment policies
life insurance coverage disputes including material misrepresentation
Mediation offers a cost-effective, flexible alternative to court, allowing parties greater control, quicker outcomes, and solutions beyond what litigation can provide.
