(This note is not part of these Regulations)
These Regulations are made in exercise of the powers conferred by section 124(3) and (4)(e) and 129(1)(b) of the Public Service Pensions and Judicial Offices Act 2022 in order to prescribe offices held by persons eligible to be appointed to a sitting in retirement office. These Regulations only apply to sitting in retirement offices where the appointing authority is the President of Welsh Tribunals.
The Table in the Schedule to these Regulations lists the prescribed judicial offices that a person must hold or have held prior to their retirement in order to be appointed to the corresponding sitting in retirement office.
The Welsh Ministers’ code of practice on the carrying out of regulatory impact assessments was considered in relation to these Regulations. As a result, a regulatory impact assessment has been prepared as to the likely costs and benefits of complying with these Regulations. A copy can be obtained from Welsh Government, Cathays Park, Cardiff CF10 3NQ and on the Welsh Government’s website at www.gov.wales.
