The Teachers’ Pension Scheme Regulations (Northern Ireland) 2014 (S.R. 2014/310) (“the 2014 Regulations”) are the scheme regulations establishing the successor teacher pension scheme (“the reformed scheme”) to the scheme established by the Teachers’ Superannuation Regulations (Northern Ireland) 1998 (S.R. 1998/333) (“the legacy scheme”). The 2014 Regulations provided for transitional protection for certain cohorts of legacy scheme members. This transitional protection was subsequently found to unlawfully discriminate between teacher pension scheme members on the basis of age.
