The default retirment age of 65 is not unlawful but should be scrapped, a High Court judge has ruled in the long-running Heyday legal case. Mr Justice Blake said the DRA was not unlawful when introduced by the government in 2006, but there was now a "compelling" case given the state of the UK economy for considering whether a retirement age is necessary. This case means that the Heyday case by charities Age Concern and Help the Aged has been dismissed. It is still legal for UK employers to force workers to retire at the age of 65. The judge said his ruling took into account the government's intention to review the default retirement age early next year.
