Garner faces years in chokey

» The former boss of Norton, Stuart Garner, faces up to two years in prison if a prosecution by the Pensions Regulator (PR) succeeds. Garner took money from pension funds that he ran and invested them in Norton, which is illegal. Michael Hayles, a senior pension lawyer for Burges Salmon, told Bike he expected the PR to make an example of Garner. ‘Investing pension money in just one business is a terrible idea,’ says Hayles. ‘You shouldn’t be risking people’s futures that way.’
