A test case on age discrimination which goes to the European
court of justice in Luxembourg early next month could open the way
for employees in Britain to insist on working past 65.
If Heyday, the membership arm of Age Concern, wins the case it
could also allow hundred of workers forced into retirement to claim
compensation from their former employers. The 2 July hearing date
is months earlier than expected and a final decision could come by
the end of the year.
