Cockburn, Regina (on The Application of) v Secretary of State for Health: Admn 29 Jul 2011

The claimant sought judicial review of the decision setting the level of pension payable to him as widower of a deceased general practitioner. He said that the amount payable would have been greater if he had been a women surviving a husband practitioner, since the regulations discounted his wife’s service before 1988.
