Question juridique clé
Whether the pension fund had to credit two extra interest components for the full year instead of pro rata until retirement.
Solution extraite
The regulations contained only a minimum guarantee for the January pension increase, while the remaining interest components had to be credited pro rata temporis upon retirement during the year.
Motifs extraits
Art. 15 VRX expressly provides annual interest and pro rata interest in the event of retirement. The January pension increase clause is a minimum safeguard, not cumulative with the ordinary yearly interest calculation. The transitional rule in Art. 56 VRX was a specific exception for a different component.
