(2) Condition A is that—
(a)P presented a claim under the Part-time Worker (Prevention of Less Favourable Treatment) Regulations 2000(1) that P is entitled to a pension by virtue of holding that office (“a relevant claim”) to an employment tribunal or an industrial tribunal, and—
(i)the claim was presented before the end of the period of 3 months beginning with the date on which P ceased to hold that office; or
(ii)the tribunal has determined, or the appropriate Minister has accepted, that it is just and equitable to extend time for the presentation of the claim; or
(b)the appropriate Minister has accepted that if P presented a relevant claim, that claim would be in time (taking into account any extension of time).
(3) Condition B is that—
(a)P’s personal representatives made a claim to an employment tribunal or an industrial tribunal before the end of the period of 3 months beginning with the date on which P died that benefits are payable in respect of P’s death by virtue of P having held that office and that claim has not been rejected before the commencement day, or
(b)an employment tribunal or an industrial tribunal has determined, or the appropriate Minister has accepted, that P’s personal representatives are entitled to bring a claim that benefits are payable in respect of P’s death by virtue of P having held that office.
(4) Where P ceased to hold a fee-paid judicial office before the relevant date and also died before the relevant date, but—
(a)P had presented a relevant claim which would have satisfied paragraph (2)(a) before death, Condition A is to be treated as satisfied, or

(ii)which is not one of the offices referred to in paragraph 11 of Schedule 2 to the Northern Ireland Act 1998(5);
(b)2nd December 2012 in all other cases.

(a)has, on or before that day, opted out of the principal scheme under regulation 10; and
(b)has not opted back in under regulation 11.
(2) If P retired before these Regulations came into force and opts out under regulation 10(1)(b), P is treated as always having been an opted-out member.
(3) P is an “active member” of the principal scheme on any day if—
(a)P is not an opted-out member;
(b)P holds an eligible fee-paid judicial office on that day; and
(c)if P had received a fee in P’s capacity as a holder of that office in respect of that day, the day would have been a qualifying fee-paid day.

(a)has not retired, or
(b)retired before these Regulations came into force,
may opt out by sending a notice to the appropriate Minister.
(2) The notice—

(b)must (unless regulation 9(2) applies) specify the date on which the member wishes to opt out.
(3) Subject to regulation 9(2), the member opts out on the date specified under paragraph (2) or, if earlier, 3 months after the date on which the appropriate Minister receives the notice.
11.—(1) A member (“P”) who has opted out and who has not retired may apply to the appropriate Minister, in the form determined by the appropriate Minister, to opt back in.
(2) The application must be accompanied by such evidence relating to P’s health as the appropriate Minister may require.
(3) P must submit to any medical examination as the appropriate Minister may require in connection with the application.
(4) If the appropriate Minister is satisfied that P is in good health, the appropriate Minister must allow the application.
(5) The appropriate Minister must, within the period of 3 months beginning with the date on which the application is received, send a notice to P specifying—
