PUBLIC LAW AND HUMAN RIGHTS
Judgment givenCase summary:This appeal concerns a claim for bereavement support payment (“BSP”). BSP is a non-means-tested contributory benefit, which provides financial help to people whose spouse or partner has died. BSP will only be paid to the surviving spouse or partner if the conditions specified in the Pensions Act 2014 (the “2014 Act”) are met. These include the “contribution condition” described in sections 30 and 31, which requires that for at least one tax year during the deceased’s working life, he or she paid national insurance contributions. The two main issues raised by this appeal are: (i) the treatment due by appellate courts in one UK jurisdiction of decisions from another UK jurisdiction regarding the similar or materially identical legislation; (ii) whether the contribution condition unlawfully discriminates against Mr Jwanczuk under article 14 of the European Convention on Human Rights (the “Convention”) read together with article 1 of the First Protocol to the Convention .
