Key legal question
Whether the vested-benefits claim held at the pension substitute foundation could be attached as a whole or only to the extent of an annuity
Extracted holding
Only the annual annuity equivalent was attachable; the full capital could not be seized.
Extracted reasoning
The asset was a vested-benefits/pension asset subject to occupational-pension rules. Failing maturity, the capital is protected beyond the amount corresponding to an annual pension under the enforcement rules and settled case law.
