The Transport Act 2000 (Civil Aviation Authority Pension Scheme) Order 2001

Repayments to members

S14.  For S Category Members Rule 48 is replaced by this Rule S14.

If a Current Member is unmarried at the date on which his pension from the CAA Section commences to be paid there shall be payable to such Member, subject to any deduction in accordance with Rule 43 and subject as provided below to this Rule, the cash sum described in the next following paragraph.

The said cash sum in respect of such a Member shall be an amount equal to the aggregate of:

(i) that proportion of such Member’s contributions to the CAA Section (and under the Previous Scheme Provisions) which the Trustees with the advice of the Actuary consider to have been contributions to secure a Spouse’s pension, and

(ii) an amount equal to one-third of the contributions (if any) paid by the Member to the A D Scheme while such Member was unmarried and had no child who might have qualified for benefit under the A D Scheme if the Member had died as a pensioner thereunder, such contributions being contributions paid at the full rate applicable under that scheme to married contributors.

Alternatively and in lieu of such amount, if the Member so requests and the Trustees agree, there may be payable an additional amount of pension determined by the trustees on the advice of the Actuary as the equivalent of the said amount, subject always to the provisions of Appendix 4 (Inland Revenue Limits).

Except where the Trustees agree otherwise, if a Member who has received a refund or an additional amount of pension as described above subsequently marries such Member shall inform the Trustees and shall repay to the Trustees the amount so received (or in the case of an additional pension, the total of the instalments thereof so received) together with compound interest thereon as determined by the Trustees with the advice of the Actuary.

In consideration of such repayment the CAA Section shall accept a liability to provide such pension for the Member’s Spouse as shall be notified by the Trustees to the Member.
