The Judicial Pensions (Miscellaneous) (Amendment) Regulations 1997
These Regulations amend the Judicial Pensions (Miscellaneous) Regulations 1995. They clarify the position in relation to elections by personal representatives by setting out clearly the circumstances in which a personal representative may make an election. They also provide that where a personal representative makes an election, the whole of Part I of the Judicial Pensions and Retirement Act 1993, and not merely those provisions relating to derivative benefits, shall be treated as applying to the deceased office-holder from the date of death (in the case of death in service) or the date of retirement ( in the case of death in retirement).
