C3.—(1) This Regulation shall apply to a widow of a member of a police force whose death is the result of an injury received without his own default in the execution of his duty where one of the following conditions is satisfied, namely that—
(a)he was attacked by a person or persons in a manner which was intrinsically likely to cause death and death ensued as a result ofthe attack, or
(b)the injury was received in the course of duties performed for the immediate purpose of effecting an arrest or of preventing an escape or rescue from legal custody, or
(c)the injury was received in the course of duties performed—
(i)for the immediate purpose of saving the life of another person or of preventing loss of human life, and
(ii)in circumstances in which there was an intrinsic likelihood of his receiving a fatal injury, or
(d)the police authority are of the opinion that one of the preceding conditions may be satisfied and that this Regulation should apply, or
(e)the police authority are of the opinion that the injury was received otherwise than as aforesaid but in the course of duties performed in such circumstances that it would be inequitable if there were not payable in respect of him such an award as would have been payable had one of the conditions specified in sub-paragraphs (a), (b) and (c) been satisfied.
(2) An award under Regulation C2(2) to a widow to whom this Regulation applies shall comprise—
(a)a widow’s special pension calculated as provided in Regulation C2(2)(a) but as if for the reference in paragraph 1 of Part II of Schedule C to 45% of the husband’s average pensionable pay for a week there were substituted a reference to 50% thereof, and
(b)a gratuity of an amount equal to twice the annual pensionable pay, at the date of her husband’s death, of a man—
(i)holding the rank of constable in the metropolitan police force, and
(ii)entitled to reckon 30 years' service for the purposes of pay,
and the provisions of Regulation C2(2)(b), (3) and (4) shall not apply except that where those provisions are more favourable in her case the gratuity shall be of an amount determined in accordance therewith.
