treatment accorded to members under those provisions), then—athe scheme shall be regarded to that extent as not complying with the principle of equal treatment; andbsubject to sub-paragraph (3), this Schedule shall apply accordingly.2In this paragraph “unfair adoption leave provisions”, in relation to an employment-related benefit scheme, means any provision—awhich relates to continuing membership of, or the accrual of rights under, the scheme during any period of paid adoption leave in the case of any member who is (or who, immediately before the commencement of such a period, was) an employed earner and which treats such a member otherwise than in accordance with the normal employment requirement; orbwhich requires the amount of any benefit payable under the scheme to or in respect of any such member, to the extent that it falls to be determined by reference to earnings during a period which included a period of paid adoption leave, to be determined otherwise than in accordance with the normal employment requirement.3In the case of any unfair adoption leave provision—athe more favourable treatment required by paragraph 3(1) is treatment no less favourable than would be accorded to the member in accordance with the normal employment requirement; andbparagraph 3(2) does not authorise the making of any such election as is there mentioned;but, in respect of any period of paid adoption leave, a member shall only be required to pay contributions on the amount of contractual remuneration or statutory adoption pay actually paid to or for him in respect of that period.4In this paragraph—“period of paid adoption leave”, in the case of a member, means a period—throughout which the member is absent from work in circumstances where sub-paragraph (5) or (6) applies, andfor which the employer (or, if he is no longer in his employment, his former employer) pays him any contractual remuneration or statutory adoption pay; and“the normal employment requirement” is the requirement that any period of paid adoption leave shall be treated as if it were a period throughout which the member in question works normally and receives the remuneration likely to be paid for doing so.5This sub-paragraph applies if—athe member’s absence from work is due to the placement, or expected placement, of a child for adoption under the law of any part of the United Kingdom, andbthe member is a person with whom the child is, or is expected to be, placed for such adoption.6This sub-paragraph applies if—athe member’s absence from work is due to the adoption or expected adoption of a child who has entered the United Kingdom in connection with or for the purposes of adoption which does not involve the placement of the child for adoption under the law of any part of the United Kingdom, andbthe member is a person by whom the child has been or is expected to be adopted. Unfair family leave provisions61Where an employment-related benefit scheme includes any unfair family leave provisions (irrespective of any differences on the basis of sex in the treatment accorded to members under those provisions), then—athe scheme shall be regarded to that extent as not complying with the principle of equal treatment; andbsubject to sub-paragraph (3) below, this Schedule shall apply accordingly.2In this Schedule “unfair family leave provisions” means any provision—awhich relates to continuing membership of, or the accrual of rights under, the scheme during any period of paid family leave in the case of any member who is an employed earner and which treats such a member otherwise than in accordance with the normal leave requirement; orbwhich requires the amount of any benefit payable under the scheme to or in respect of any such member to the extent that it falls to be determined by reference to earnings during a period which included a period of paid family leave, to be determined otherwise than in accordance with the normal leave requirement.3In the case of any unfair family leave provision—athe more favourable treatment required by paragraph 3(1) above is treatment no less favourable than would be accorded to the members in accordance with the normal leave requirement;bparagraph 3(2) above does not authorise the making of any such election as is there mentioned; andcparagraph 4(1)(a) above does not authorise the making of any modification which does not satisfy the requirements of paragraph (a) above;but, in respect of a period of paid family leave, a member shall only be required to pay contributions on the amount of contractual remuneration actually paid to or for him in respect of that period.4In this paragraph—aperiod of paid family leave” means any period—ithroughout which a member is absent from work for family reasons; andiifor which the employer pays him any contractual remuneration;bthe normal leave requirement” is the requirement that any period of paid family leave shall be treated as if it were a period throughout which the member in question works normally but only receives the remuneration in fact paid to him for that period.

renders void any provision making membership of a pension scheme compulsory for an employed earner) shall apply in relation to a self-employed earner as it applies in relation to an employed earner, but with the substitution for references to a personal pension scheme of references to an employment-related benefit scheme which would be such a pension scheme if self-employed earners were regarded as employed earners. Jurisdiction91The court, on the application of any person interested, shall have jurisdiction to determine any question arising as to—awhether any provision of an employment-related benefit scheme does or does not comply with the principle of equal treatment; orbwhether, and with what effect, any such provision is overridden by paragraph 3 above.2In sub-paragraph (1) above “the court” means—ain England and Wales, the High Court or a county court; andbin Scotland, the Court of Session or the sheriff court.3An application under sub-paragraph (1) above may be commenced in a county court notwithstanding—aany financial limit otherwise imposed on the jurisdiction of such a court; orbthat the only relief claimed is a declaration or an injunction.
