UK retirement age challenge fails


he High Court has upheld the law that allows UK employers to force workers to retire at the age of 65.

However the judge in the case said there was a compelling case for the compulsory retirement age to rise.

Age Concern and Help the Aged, which challenged the rules, will not appeal because they expect the law to change.
