Issue - meetings

16.1     This item was introduced by the Chair.

16.2     The Chair explained that the opinion of James Goudie QC regarding the legal status of pension boards does not affect how the East Sussex Pension Board has been set up. However, a considerable number of other pension boards were exercising the functions of the pension committee, i.e., the management and administration of their pension fund; and were constituted as if they were local authority committees, i.e., the members of the boards were local authority elected members rather than scheme member and employer representatives.

16.3     The Board RESOLVED to note the report.
