The applicant appealed an award by the Pensions Ombudsman. He had been employed by the respondents as a solicitor in Hong Kong. He said it had been agreed that he would be be admitted to their pension scheme with retrospective effect.
Held: The section did not tie the Ombudsman to any particular remedy available to a court, though it was limited to making an order of the kind a court could make. Instead he had a wider discretion, and if he used that discretion, a court should be reluctant to intervene. The appeal was dismissed.
