This 2008 articles states the following but did not say why the court rejected the claim!

But probably there are updates on this.

European Court of Human Rights has rejected their claim 

Over 500,000 elderly British expats, about half of them Australia-based, are reeling from the shock news that the European Court of Human Rights has rejected their claim that the UK’s long-standing frozen pensions policy is discriminatory and in breach of the Human Rights Act.

and

Canada, Australia are among the handful of Commonwealth countries which offer financial assistance to British expats impoverished by the UK policy. The current cost to Australia is about $A110 million a year.



do you think your assertion that 

BTW There is no law in the UK that you MUST have an agreement to receive updating of the UK pension.

Indeed, there is NO LAW that states that the pension cannot be paid in some countries but not in others. 

influenced the courts decision in anyway?

You are right there is no mention of Australia because….



Australia doens;t have an agreement.

BTW There is no law in the UK that you MUST have an agreement to receive updating of the UK pension.
