The Superannuation (Judicial Offices) (Aggregation of Service) Rules 1987
These Rules consolidate and supersede the existing rules which provide for a person who has served in more than one judicial office, whether remunerated out of central or local funds, to elect that the whole of his judicial service is, subject to the conditions specified in the rules, to be aggregated for the purpose of determining his superannuation benefits, instead of their being based only on his service in his last office. An election for this purpose has to be made within three months of retirement. In the case of death in office or within three months of retirement, the election may be made by the office-holder’s personal representatives and there is a discretion vested in the Treasury to extend the time in a particular case.
