Schemes where more than one rule applies8.

(1)

The hybrid schemes specified by this rule are schemes under which—

(a)

the benefits to be paid to or in respect of members on or after their retirement are such that, if the scheme provided only those benefits, it would fall within any description of schemes specified in F1rules 4 to 7, and

(b)

such other benefits of any description which are such that, if the scheme provided only benefits of that description, it would fall within any other description of schemes specified in F2rules 4 to 7.

(2)

In the application of section 24(1) to a relevant scheme—

(a)

treat the provisions of the scheme which provide for the different descriptions of benefits within paragraph (1)(a) or (b) as if they provided for benefits under separate schemes, and

(b)

in respect of each such separate scheme, apply the quality requirements which, in accordance with F3rules 4 to 7, would apply to the scheme.
