Latvia and A. and Others v. the United Kingdom has relinquished jurisdiction in favour of the Grand Chamber. In the case of Andrejeva v. Latvia, the applicant is a national of the former USSR who has lived in Latvia for 54 years and has the status in Latvia of a permanently resident non-citizen. Now retired, she was employed in what is now Latvian territory before the restoration of Latvian independence for a public body under the authority of the USSR's Ministry for the Chemical Industry. She complains in particular that application of the transitional provisions of the State Pensions Act, in that they impose a nationality condition for periods of service outside Latvia to be taken into account, constitutes discrimination that has deprived her of her pension entitlement in respect of 17 years' employment.
