These Regulations revoke and re-enact provisions of the Pension Schemes Act 2015 (Transitional Provisions and Appropriate Independent Advice) (Amendment No. 2) Regulations (Northern Ireland) 2018 (“the No. 2 Regulations”) which would otherwise cease to have effect by virtue of section 85(3)(b) of the Pension Schemes Act 2015. Like the No. 2 Regulations, the Regulations amend the Pension Schemes Act 2015 (Transitional Provisions and Appropriate Independent Advice) Regulations (Northern Ireland) 2015 (“the Advice Regulations”), which relate to the requirement in section 51 of the Pension Schemes Act 2015 (“the 2015 Act”) that the trustees or managers of a pension scheme must check that a member or survivor has received appropriate independent advice before carrying out certain transactions. The requirement applies to a member's or survivor's “safeguarded benefits”, meaning benefits which are neither money purchase benefits nor cash balance benefits (as defined in sections 51(8), 75 and 76(3) of the 2015 Act). Regulation 6 of the No. 2 Regulations is not re-enacted as it made transitional provision which is now spent.
