The Superannuation (English Local Government and Northern Ireland) Interchange (Amendment) Rules 1958

8.  For rule 5 of the principal rules there shall be substituted the following rule:—

“5.— (1) Where any person to whom the last preceding rule has become applicable was, at the time when he ceased to be employed by the Northern Ireland employing authority, in the course of making payments (other than those to which paragraph (2) of this rule applies) by way of—

(a) instalments in discharge of a fixed sum; or

(b) contributions of a fraction or percentage of emoluments additional to the percentage payable in respect of current service,

as a condition of being entitled to reckon the service in relation to which those payments were being made as a period of service for the purposes of the pension scheme in which he was entitled to participate or as a condition of increasing the length at which the said service would be reckonable for the purpose of calculating a benefit under the said pension scheme, he shall be entitled, if he pays forthwith to the authority maintaining the superannuation fund to which he is a contributor in his new employment, a sum equal to any sum paid to him by way of return of such payments on or after ceasing to be employed as a pensionable employee of the Northern Ireland employing authority, to make payments and, in respect of the service in respect of which the payments were being made, shall enjoy rights and be subject to liabilities, as if in his previous employment he had been, instead of a pensionable employee of a Northern Ireland employing authority, a local Act contributor.

(2) Where any person to whom the last preceding rule has become applicable was in the course of making payments in respect of added years, he shall be entitled, if he pays forthwith to the authority maintaining the superannuation fund to which he is a contributor in his new employment, a sum equal to any sum paid to him by way of return of such payments as aforesaid on or after ceasing to be employed as a pensionable employee of a Northern Ireland employing authority, to pay the outstanding payments in the manner in which they would have been payable if he had remained in his employment as a pensionable employee of a Northern Ireland employing authority and, in respect of the added years in respect of which those payments are made, shall enjoy rights and be subject to liabilities as if those years were added years in respect of which payments are being made in his new employment he is subject to a local Act scheme, under such provisions corresponding to the said regulation 12, or to regulation 5 of the Local Government Superannuation (Reckoning of Service on Transfer) Regulations, 1954, as are contained in that scheme.”
