The Judicial Pensions (Widowers' and Children’s Benefits) Regulations 1991
These Regulations provide for the contributions to be made by women who are holders of certain judicial offices towards pensions for widowers and children under Part II of the Judicial Pensions Act 1981. That Act formerly provided for the payment of pensions to widows of men who were holders of those judicial offices, but there was no provision for widowers' pensions, which were first introduced by the Courts and Legal Services Act 1990. These Regulations have similar effect to the Judicial Pensions (Widows' and Childrens' Benefits) Regulations 1987, which continue to apply to the contributions made by male office-holders.
