A former director of UK higher education’s largest pension scheme has withdrawn her case for unfair dismissal midway through a tribunal.
Jane Hutton dropped her case against the Universities Superannuation Scheme (USS) on 19 May after two days of intense cross-examination.
Bill Galvin, the chief executive of USS, and Sir David Eastwood, its former chair, were due to begin giving their evidence at the tribunal before it was announced that the case had been withdrawn.
