Rule 7 of the trust instrument of a pension fund provided for the pensions committee to make loans on certain terms to the Co-operative Society in question, and the pension fund had been receiving from the society less than the market rate of interest on such loans.
Held: The terms of rule 7 permitted not only the self-investment of the pension funds but also the payment of less than the market rate of interest on such loans, even though the society was the trustee of the fund and so was profiting from its trust.
