"Parliament [not judges] can make judgments as to ..balance to be struck between different interests" p13 #discountrateconsultation

[Gerard McDermott KC @mcdermottkc_]

1st reading suggests that some errors in consultation paper. May depend on how insurers revisiting reserves affects profits #discountrate

[Gerard McDermott KC @mcdermottkc_]

@McDermottQC of course the real reason the rate is so low is the present returns on money and ILGS ..a problem for anyone living on capital

[Gerard McDermott KC @mcdermottkc_]

@McDermottQC though it clearly contemplates changing the practice established in Wells v Wells #discountrate

[Gerard McDermott KC @mcdermottkc_]

The good news from reading #discountrate consultation is that it does seem largely confined to that. Some commentators tht might be wider
