Justices of the Peace Act 1968

15 (1) Every transferred officer or employee, so long as he continues in the employment of the magistrates' courts committee by virtue of the transfer, shall enjoy terms and conditions of employment not less favourable than those he enjoyed immediately before the appointed day (that is to say, the day appointed under section 7(1) of this Act), except as regards the scale of his salary or remuneration if on the transfer or afterwards he ceases to be engaged in duties reasonably comparable to those in which he was engaged immediately before the appointed day; and in the event of his ceasing to be so engaged, this sub-paragraph shall nevertheless apply to the scale of his salary or remuneration equally with the other terms and conditions of his employment so long as he has not been served with a statement in writing of new terms and conditions of employment.

(2) A written statement given in accordance with section 4 of the [1963 c. 49.] Contracts of Employment Act 1963 shall not be regarded as a statement of new terms and conditions of employment for the purposes of sub-paragraph (1) above unless the statement indicates that it is to be.

(3) In this paragraph " transferred officer or employee " means a person transferred to the employment of a magistrates' courts committee by virtue of paragraph 10(1) or of paragraph 13(1) or (3) above, and this paragraph shall apply to a person becoming justices' clerk in the City by virtue of paragraph 10(1)(a) as if in that capacity he were employed by the magistrates' courts committee.
