The Public Service (Civil Servants and Others) Pensions (Remediable Service) Regulations 2023
The Public Service Pensions Act 2013 (c. 25) (“PSPA 2013”) makes provision, and confers powers to make further provision (in the form of “scheme regulations” as defined in section 1 of PSPA 2013), about the establishment of public service pension schemes. The Public Service (Civil Servants and Others) Pensions Regulations 2014 (S.I. 2014/1964) (“the 2014 Regulations”) are the scheme regulations establishing alpha, the successor civil service pension scheme to the Principal Civil Service Pension Scheme (“the PCSPS”). The 2014 Regulations provided for transitional protection for certain cohorts of PCSPS members. This transitional protection was subsequently found to unlawfully discriminate between civil service pension scheme members on the basis of age.
