- DCCJ4016/2006
The court held that the Original Deed and the Deed of Variation were incorporated into the contracts of employment; Clause 11.A.1 of the Deed of Variation validly conferred on the University the power to cease contributions to the DB Plan with notice; the exercise of that power was not irrational or perverse and was justified by genuine operational requirements (cost‑effectiveness and overwhelming member migration), therefore there was no breach and the Plaintiffs' claim failed.
