Continuity of employment in certain cases

27.—(1) This regulation applies to a person–

(a) to whom regulation 5 of the Local Government Superannuation (Local Government Reorganisation) Regulations 1985(1) (“the 1985 Regulations”) applies, and

(2) A person to whom this regulation applies may elect to be treated for the purposes of the principal Regulations as if–

(3) An election under this regulation must be made by giving notice in writing to the appropriate administering authority, within 12 months after 1st April 1989 unless they or, where there was a change of fund, the administering authorities of both funds allow a longer period.
