Part 3: Judicial Offices Section 125: Appointment to sitting in retirement offices: further provision
Section 125 makes further provision in respect of appointment to a sitting in retirement office.
	Section 125(2) confirms that a person appointed to a sitting in retirement office is to be treated for all purposes as if they were still the holder of the pre-retirement office, other than in relation to the exceptions set out in section 125(3) (appointment, removal and tenure, oaths, remuneration, allowances and pensions). This will allow holders of sitting in retirement offices to be deployed flexibly across the courts and tribunals system in the same way as their pre-retirement counterparts. Section 125(4) to 125(9) together specify that terms of appointment and remuneration for the sitting in retirement offices are to be set by the same person who exercises such powers in relation to the original offices, subject to the mandatory retirement age of 75 and to section 126 (Discipline and removal from office).
