Richardson v. Board of Pension Trustees

Summary

The Court affirmed the Superior Court's decision upholding the Board's denial of Richardson's request to apply a five-year pension-vesting period. Although Richardson relied on erroneous website information, substantial evidence supported the Board's findings that he did not rely solely on that information and that his reliance was not detrimental in light of the substantial salary increase he received. The Court also held that the Board acted within its discretion in rejecting Richardson's uncontradicted testimony about reliance.
