Territorial extent and application Judicial Offices
Section 121 and Schedule 1 which make provision to raise the MRA to 75 for certain judicial offices extend UK-wide. Included are a number of judicial offices in Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland, whose MRA is a devolved matter for Senedd Cymru, the Scottish Parliament and the Northern Ireland Assembly.
	Sections 123 to 128, which make provision for the new sitting in retirement offices to which both salaried and fee-paid judicial office holders can apply for upon retirement, apply UK-wide. The judicial office holders in scope of this provision (set out in Schedule 3) include judicial office holders whose terms of appointments are devolved matters for Senedd Cymru and the Northern Ireland Assembly. Part 4 of Schedule 3 extends to Northern Ireland only whilst Part 5 extends to England and Wales only. Judicial office holders whose terms of appointments are a devolved matter for the Scottish Parliament are not in scope of this provision.
	The judicial allowances measure extends to the whole of the UK. It will extend to judicial offices in Scotland, Northern Ireland and Wales where the Lord Chancellor has legislative competence in relation to the determination of remuneration. The Scottish Government and the Department of Justice in Northern Ireland have also provided legislative consent so that certain judicial offices in Scotland and Northern Ireland where legislative competence in relation to the determination of remuneration is devolved are also be included in this measure; in such cases the power to determine allowances will be provided to the authority which has the existing power to determine salary or fees. The judicial office holders whose remuneration is a devolved matter for Senedd Cymru are not included in the judicial allowances measure.
