The Judicial Pensions Regulations 2022

Pensionable service under pre-2022 scheme

9.—(1) This paragraph applies in relation to a transition member with continuity of service (T) who is in pensionable service under this scheme.

(2) In determining whether T qualifies under a pre-2022 scheme for retirement benefits, T’s pensionable service under that scheme is to be treated as terminating when T’s pensionable service under this scheme terminates;

(3) In determining T’s final salary for any purposes of a pre-2022 scheme under Schedule 7 (final salary link) to the Act, pensionable earnings derived from service under this scheme are to be regarded as derived from service under a pre-2022 scheme; and

(4) Where T has a working pattern or patterns involving a pro rata reduction in salary as at the date when they cease pensionable service in this scheme, T’s final salary for a pre-2022 scheme is to be calculated by reference to their full-time equivalent final salary, or to the proportion or proportions of their full-time equivalent final salary appropriate to T’s working pattern as at the closing date.
