Questão jurídica principal
Whether the respondent could claim the former conversion rate of 6.2% for early retirement in 2004.
Decisão extraída
No. The applicable conversion rate was the lower rate of 5.024%, not the former 6.2%.
Fundamentação extraída
The court held that no binding assurance existed, the pension plan allowed changes to the conversion rate according to the applicable rules and actuarial basis, and the insured could not rely on the earlier rate remaining unchanged until retirement.
