As published

57 Pension credit members

(1) Scheme regulations for a judicial scheme may make provision about the benefits payable to or in respect of a relevant pension credit member and the corresponding pension debit member. (2) In this section “relevant pension credit member”, in relation to a judicial scheme, means a person who has rights under the scheme— (a) which are attributable (directly or indirectly) to a pension credit, and (b) the value of which was determined (to any extent) by reference to the value of benefits payable in respect of the remediable service in a judicial office of another person. (3) In this section “the corresponding pension debit member”, in relation to a relevant pension credit member, means the person mentioned in subsection (2)(b). (4) The provision that may be made under subsection (1) includes provision under which— (a) the pension debit of the corresponding pension debit member is adjusted where a legacy scheme election or a 2015 scheme election is made in respect of a member; (b) the pension credit of a relevant pension credit member is adjusted on the assumption that a legacy scheme election or a 2015 scheme election is made in respect of the corresponding pension debit member (regardless of whether it in fact is). (5) Provision made under subsection (1) must include provision under which, in a case in which the corresponding pension debit member in relation to a relevant pension credit member has mixed service, any pension credit retained by the relevant pension credit member under the scheme is of a value determined by reference to the value of benefits payable under only one judicial scheme. (6) For the purposes of this section a person’s remediable service in a judicial office is “mixed service” if, disregarding any legacy scheme election or 2015 scheme election made in respect of the person— (a) some of the service is pensionable service under a judicial legacy scheme, and (b) some of the service is pensionable service under a judicial 2015 scheme. (7) In this section— “pension debit” means a debit under section 29(1)(a) of WPRA 1999 or Article 26(1)(a) of WRP(NI)O 1999; “pension credit” means a credit under section 29(1)(b) of WPRA 1999 or Article 26(1)(b) of WRP(NI)O 1999.

One line that says what changes, such as "Halve the dog tax".

Who it helps, what it costs, what it fixes. It is what persuades people to support it.

A proposal here is not law. Support on Solon is evidence that people want the change; the official route says what it takes to make it law.
