Dalriada Trustees has expanded its presence with the opening of a south west office in Bristol to complement its services in London, Glasgow and Belfast.

Pension liberation vehicles are often set up as occupational schemes to circumvent the need for Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) or professional trustee credentials, counsel for The Pensions Regulator (TPR) has argued.

An independent financial adviser (IFA) behind a number of suspected pension liberation vehicles appeared to be "playing fast and loose" in setting up the schemes, the High Court has heard.

The Pensions Protection Fund (PPF) has appointed four firms to its newly created trustee advisory panel.

The High Court hearing into the legal status of nine suspected liberation schemes has been adjourned until autumn, The Pensions Regulator (TPR) has confirmed.

The current High Court case regarding pensions liberation does not have the scope to end the practice, a Chancery Division judge has warned.

A high-profile court case to determine whether pension liberation schemes are illegal will begin on 16 July.
