Facts of the Case
Background
The respondent was employed for 43 years until retirement in 2013. Both parties contributed to an Old Mutual pension fund. Upon retirement, the pension paid was lower than what would have been received as gratuity under the Collective Bargaining Agreement. The respondent claimed the difference, arguing the pension scheme was less favourable than the gratuity provisions.
