The Justices of the Peace Act, 1949 (Compensation) Regulations 1954

28.—(1) If a whole-time officer receiving compensation for loss of office under Part II of this Schedule is appointed to another office after suffering the loss of office and the remuneration thereof is payable out of public funds, he shall not, so long as he holds that office, be entitled to receive any greater sum by way of compensation in respect of such loss than would make up the amount (if any) by which the annual rate of the emoluments of that office fall short of the annual rate of the emoluments of the office he has lost immediately before such loss.

(2) If a whole-time officer receiving compensation for diminution of the emoluments of any office loses that office in circumstances in which he does not become entitled to compensation in respect of that loss and thereupon or thereafter he is appointed to another office the remuneration of which is payable out of public funds, he shall not, so long as he holds that office, be entitled to receive any greater sum by way of such compensation than would make up the amount (if any) by which the annual rate of the emoluments of that office fall short of the annual rate of the emoluments of the former office immediately before such diminution.
