Uncle Ian,
Good on you for taking up the fight! Good luck in March, unfortunately I can't be there as I am working abroad at the moment. But I will pledge my support with whatever money I can find (I am just about to fund my IR). Whirls please PM me the bank details.
By the way, I was wondering what you are trying to achieve here, specifically? I think that forced retirement at any age is by definition discriminatory and shouldn't be allowed. Medical factors are fine, but purely based on age is discriminatory. Are you trying to get the age restriction removed? Or simply trying to raise it? I would prefer the former, but you'd probably have a better chance of success with the latter.. Feel free to PM me.
Thanks,
