40 Insertion of new regulation into the Judicial Pensions Regulations 2015
After regulation 13 (qualifying judicial office) insert—
Qualifying judicial offices with retrospective entitlements
13A (1) Where an office, as specified in an order made under paragraph 2 of Schedule 1 to the Act, has a corresponding entitlement start date under paragraph (2), then:
(a) that office is deemed to have been a qualifying judicial office from that entitlement start date for the purpose of these Regulations subject to paragraph 7; and
(b) the holder of that office is entitled from the office’s entitlement start date to the date on which the office was specified in the order referred to in paragraph (1) (the “retrospective entitlement period”) to the pension and other benefits conferred by these Regulations subject to paragraph 7.
(2) The following office has the following entitlement start date: Member (Chair Only) First-tier Tribunal (Social Entitlement Chamber) Criminal Injuries Compensation, 1 April 2015.
(3) The holder of an office to which paragraph (1) applies must pay to the scheme contributions in respect of service carried out during their retrospective entitlement period (“previous service contributions”) as calculated under paragraph (4).
(4) The member’s previous service contributions are to be calculated as follows—
Step 1
Find the member’s annualised rate of pensionable earnings as calculated under regulation 124 for each scheme year.
Step 2
Multiply the member contributions rate by the annualised rate of pensionable earnings for each scheme year.
Step 3
Add together the amounts calculated under Step 2.
(5) Except to the extent that the previous service contributions have already been paid, where possible they must be paid:
(a) by way of a lump sum at any time during the period of 6 months beginning with the date on which the office is specified in the order under paragraph (1) (or by such later date as the scheme manager may agree); or
(b) by way of deductions by the member’s employer from the member’s pensionable earnings for each pay period, as may be specified in an agreement between the member and the scheme manager.
(6) Where it is not possible to pay the previous service contributions under paragraph (5), they must be paid by way of a deduction from—
(a) pension payments under Part 6 of these Regulations in such instalments as the scheme manager considers appropriate;
(b) the lump sum (if one is payable under regulation 76 or 77 of these Regulations) paid on retirement;
(c) where a member dies before retiring, the lump sum payable under regulation 111 of these Regulations; or
(d) if applicable, the transfer value payment under Chapter 2 of Part 10 of these Regulations.
(7) The holder of an office to which paragraph (1) applies may opt out in relation to all or part of the retrospective entitlement period by sending a notice (an “opt-out notice”) to the scheme manager, in a form required by the scheme manager, within 6 months beginning with the date on which the office is specified in the order referred to in paragraph (1) (or by such later date as the scheme manager may agree).
(8) Where the holder of an office sends an opt-out notice to the scheme manager under paragraph (7), that person is treated as always having been an opted-out member in relation to all or part of the retrospective entitlement period.
