The Public Service Pensions Act (Northern Ireland) 2014 (c. 2) (“PSPA(NI) 2014”) makes provision, and confers powers to make further provision (in the form of “scheme regulations” as defined in section 1 of PSPA(NI) 2014), about the establishment of public service pension schemes. The Public Service (Civil Servants and Others) Pensions Regulations (Northern Ireland) 2014 (S.R. 2014 No. 290) (“the 2014 Regulations”) are the scheme regulations establishing alpha, the successor civil service pension scheme to the Principal Civil Service Pension Scheme (Northern Ireland) (“the PCSPS(NI)”). The 2014 Regulations provided for transitional protection for certain cohorts of PCSPS(NI) members. This transitional protection was subsequently found to unlawfully discriminate between civil service pension scheme members on the basis of age.
