I have been following the CSCS scheme developments and PCS challenge and find it very interesting. I would like to share my views of a case law that is some way similar to situation that PCS and civil servants find themselves caught up in. The case is Stratis Andreadis v. Greece - the Greece Government enacted a new law in 1987 , which had the effect of rendering the arbitration award in favour of Stratis void and unenforceable. Stratis complained to the Strasbourg, inter alia, under Article 1. Protocol No1 to the convention. Challenge brought by PCS it was established that Civil Servants had accrued rights. This is established under the superannuation Act 1972. These accrued rights in some way are no different to salary paid at end of the month - the employer hold on to the salary until end of month ( therefore salary is accrued right). The CSCS accrued rights were based on length of service. This is not some promise in future it is an accrued right established from length of service rendered. In case of Stan Andreadis v. Greece – it is interesting to note that property right fell within the scope of Article 1 of Protocol No 1. at the time when the annulling law was passed in a 1987. ( in Civil Servants case its been established that Compensation earned upto date under the current CSCS is property). Another words the new law enacted in 1987 came after the property right had been established.
