Question juridique clé
Whether the free assets for collectively transferred insureds could be transferred collectively rather than individually
Solution extraite
Yes. In a collective transfer, collective transfer of free assets is permissible and not unlawful or discriminatory; individual crediting is not mandatory.
Motifs extraits
The law allows either collective or individual entitlement to free assets, and the pension fund may choose within legal limits. Collective transfer preserves the collective nature of occupational pension coverage and is consistent with equal treatment when the transfer out is collective.
