Judicial Pensions and Retirement Act 1993

Salaried offices E+W+S+N.I.

2 (1) This paragraph applies to any person who for the time being holds, or who is seeking appointment or re-appointment to, a salaried relevant office (in this paragraph referred to as his “post-commencement office”), if— E+W+S+N.I.

(a) immediately before the appointed day, he was holding that or any other salaried relevant office (in this paragraph referred to as his “pre-commencement office”);

(b) he has at all times on and after that day held some one or other salaried relevant office (whether the same office or not); and

(c) his potential retirement date by reference to his pre-commencement office falls later than the date that would, apart from this paragraph, be the compulsory retirement date for the post-commencement office in his case.

(2) If and so long as this paragraph applies to a person—

(a) nothing in section 26 of, and no amendment made by Schedule 6 to, this Act shall—

(i) require him to vacate his post-commencement office before his potential retirement date by reference to his pre-commencement office; or

(ii) affect his eligibility for appointment or re-appointment to the post-commencement office; and

(b) that potential retirement date shall be taken for the purposes of section 26 of this Act (and, accordingly, of this Schedule) to be the compulsory retirement date for the post-commencement office in his case.

(3) If a person has two or more pre-commencement offices (so that he would, apart from this sub-paragraph, have two or more potential retirement dates) his potential retirement date for the purposes of this paragraph—

(a) shall be determined by reference only to that one of his pre-commencement offices to which he was first appointed, or

(b) shall be such later date, falling on or before the day on which he attains the age of 75, as may be agreed in writing by him and the appropriate Minister, determined by reference to that pre-commencement office;

and any reference in this Schedule to the person’s potential retirement date by reference to his pre-commencement office shall be construed accordingly.

(4) If immediately before the appointed day—

(a) a person who holds a salaried relevant office (“office A”) also holds another relevant office (“office B”), but

(b) in consequence of holding office A, he is either—

(i) unremunerated in respect of his service in office B, or

(ii) remunerated by payment of a supplement, in respect of that service, to the salary payable in respect of his service in office A,

then, in determining for the purposes of sub-paragraph (3) above the number of pre-commencement offices which that person has, and to which of them he was first appointed, he shall be taken to hold office B at that time as a salaried relevant office and to have been so holding it at all previous times when the conditions in paragraphs (a) and (b) above were fulfilled.
