On 27 May 2021, the High Court handed down its judgment in the case of EMS & Amey v Secretary of State for MHCLG. The case relates to the non-payment of a £6.5 million exit credit. The Court found in favour of MHCLG and upheld the retrospective effect of the LGPS (Amendment) 2020 Regulations. The judge noted that ‘there were compelling public interest reasons for making the regulations retroactive’, and that ‘the aim of avoiding windfall payments and protecting the pension funds was legitimate’.
