Claim for declarations as to the interpretation of the definition of ‘the Index’ under the Rules of the Scheme, which is used for escalation of pensions in payment and various similar provisions, with the object of establishing that the defendants, who are the present Trustees of the Scheme, are obliged, or have the power, for the future either to change the relevant index from the Retail Prices Index (RPI) to the Consumer Prices Index (CPI) or Consumer Prices Index including Housing (CPIH), or, if they cannot change the Index itself, to make ‘adjustments’ to calculations using RPI that would achieve the same effect.
