The Judicial Pensions (Contributions) Regulations 1998
These Regulations replace the Judicial Pensions (Contributions) Regulations 1995. They apply for the purposes of prescribing the contributions to be made towards surviving spouse’s and children’s pensions payable by virtue of the judicial pension scheme set up under Part I of the Judicial Pensions and Retirement Act 1993. Regulation 5 provides for members of the scheme to make periodical contributions by way of a deduction from salary. Members who transfer into the Part I scheme from another judicial pension scheme are given a credit for contributions made into the previous schemes and may make additional contributions to cover any shortfall. On ceasing to hold qualifying judicial office, contributions made are compared with contributions due and any necessary adjustment made by way of deduction from the lump sum payable on death or retirement, or by way of refund of contributions, as appropriate.
