4 2018/29 Judicial Salaries, Allowances, and Superannuation (Court Martial Appeal Court and Court Martial) Determination 2018 Explanatory memorandum Explanatory memorandum This memorandum is not part of the determination, but is intended to indicate its general effect.
This determination sets the salaries, allowances, and superannuation rights and obli- gations of appointed Judges of the Court Martial Appeal Court and the Chief Judge and other Judges of the Court Martial.

The Remuneration Authority has set the salaries for Judges at what it considers to be the appropriate rate for full-time positions.
Judges acting on a part-time basis will be paid for the time they act, calculated on a pro rata basis as a proportion of the salary payable to a Judge acting on a full-time basis.

Note the salary divisor for calculating the part-time daily rate, in clauses 4(2), 5(2), and 6(2) of this determination, has changed from 230 pro-rated in proportion to the amount of the day worked to 226 pro-rated in proportion to the amount of the day worked.
The new divisor is based on 260 working days per year minus 34 days (being 23 annual holidays and 11 statutory holidays).

The increases in remuneration reflect the movement in salaries for serving Judges, which took effect from 1 October 2017, as set out in the Judicial Salaries and Allow- ances (2017/18) Determination 2017.

The Judges, when fulfilling their statutory roles, continue to incur expenses in the running of their private practices.
The Authority has accordingly specified allowances to be paid as a contribution towards the costs incurred by Judges in maintaining their practices while carrying out their statutory functions.

The Authority this year re- viewed the allowances applicable to each judicial position and has left them at their current level, which was set following a review in 2014.

However, all judicial offi- cers’ allowances, remuneration, and superannuation benefits are currently under re- view by the Authority.
The Authority expects to complete this review during the first half of 2018.

If any results of the review are applicable to the Judges of the Court Martial Appeal Court and the Court Martial, this determination could be amended ret- roactive to 1 January 2018.

This determination is for a year from 1 January 2018.

The making of the determin- ation was delayed beyond the expiry of the previous determination in order to allow the Remuneration Authority to carry out preparatory work on the determination.
The determination expires on 31 December 2018.

Issued under the authority of the Legislation Act 2012.

Date of notification in Gazette: 1 March 2018.
