CHAPTER 11 Unauthorised payments where an immediate detriment remedy has been obtained Scheme rules that prohibit unauthorised payments 28 1 This regulation applies where— a a payment from a judicial scheme is permitted or required to be made under this Part, b the payment, if made, would be an unauthorised payment , and c a rule of the scheme prohibits the scheme from making unauthorised payments. 2 The payment may be made only if it falls within a description of payments that correspond to a description of payments specified for the purposes of section 63 of PSPJOA 2022 in Treasury directions. 3 Paragraph (4) applies where— a in the course of taking the steps mentioned in regulation 16 (requirement to transfer assets held in a partnership pension account) a payment is made from a partnership pension account, b the payment, if made, would be an unauthorised payment, and c a rule of the scheme prohibits the scheme from making unauthorised payments. 4 The payment may be made notwithstanding the rule mentioned in paragraph (3)(c). PART 4 Provision in relation to certain fee-paid judges CHAPTER 1 Application and Interpretation Application of Part 29 1 This Part applies where a relevant fee-paid judge (“ R ”) has relevant service in a judicial office. 2 “Relevant service” is any continuous period of service that meets the following conditions. 3 The first condition is that the service in question took place in the period beginning with 1st April 2015 and ending with 31st March 2022. 4 The second condition is that the service— a is pensionable service under a judicial legacy scheme, or b would have been pensionable service under a judicial scheme but for the fact that the person, in accordance with the scheme, opted that it should not be (or failed to opt that it should be) pensionable service under the scheme. 5 The second condition is met if all of the service in question falls within paragraph (4)(a) and (b) (even if it does not fall within only one of those paragraphs). 6 The third condition is that there is no disqualifying gap in service falling within the period— a beginning with the day after the most recent day in relation to which section 103(3)(c) PSPJOA 2022 applies in relation to R, and b ending with the day before the first day of the relevant service. 7 For the purposes of paragraph (4)(b), a person is treated as having opted in accordance with the scheme that service should not be pensionable service under a judicial scheme if the service would have been pensionable service under that scheme (or would have been if the person had opted that it should be) but for the fact that the person had a partnership pension account. 8 This Part does not apply in relation to any payment or transfer of assets and liabilities that would otherwise be payable or required to be made under this Part where a corresponding payment or a corresponding transfer of assets and liabilities has been made. 9 In paragraph (8)— a “corresponding payment” is a payment that has been made in relation to R’s relevant service that corresponds to a payment that is payable or required to be made under this Part; a “corresponding transfer of assets and liabilities” is a transfer of assets and liabilities that has been made in relation to R’s relevant service that corresponds to a transfer of assets and liabilities that is required to be made under this Part. 10 Regulations 33 to 45 do not apply in relation to R where R is a person described in— a regulation 32(1) and the steps mentioned in regulation 32(2) have not been taken in relation to R; b regulation 32(3) and the steps mentioned in regulation 32(4) have not been taken in relation to R. Interpretation of Part 30 1 In this Part— “ adult survivor ” means a surviving spouse or surviving civil partner who is entitled under a judicial legacy scheme to a pension determined (to any extent) by reference to R’s relevant service; “ Part 4 judicial legacy salaried scheme ”, in relation to a member’s relevant service in a salaried judicial office, means the judicial legacy salaried scheme under which the member most recently accrued pensionable service in the office. 2 For the purposes of this Part— a R’s relevant service is “PPA opted-out relevant service” if and to the extent that R made contributions to a partnership pension account in respect of it; b the “ notification period ”, in relation to R, is (subject to sub-paragraph (c)) the period of three months beginning with the date on which the statement mentioned in regulation 31 is sent; c the relevant authority may extend the period mentioned in sub-paragraph (b) in relation to R if the relevant authority considers it just and equitable to do so. CHAPTER 2 Information statements Information statements 31 1 The relevant authority must, as soon as reasonably practicable— a prepare a statement in relation to R, and b send it to the appropriate person. 2 The statement must contain such information as the relevant authority considers relevant to R’s rights and liabilities under these Regulations. CHAPTER 3 Partnership pension account where a person has relevant service Partnership pension account: requirement to transfer and surrender rights 32 1 Paragraph (2) applies where— a R has relevant service in a salaried judicial office, and b any of the relevant service is PPA opted-out relevant service. 2 The relevant person must, before the end of the notification period, take the steps specified in section 41(3) of PSPJOA 2022 and for these purposes section 41(3) is to be read as if— a references to the relevant judicial legacy salaried scheme were references to the Part 4 judicial legacy salaried scheme; b the reference in section 41(3)(c) to the appropriate person were a reference to the relevant person. 3 Paragraph (4) applies where— a R has relevant service in a fee-paid judicial office, and b any of the relevant service is PPA opted-out relevant service. 4 The relevant person must, before the end of the notification period, take the steps specified in section 41(6) of PSPJOA 2022, and for these purposes the reference in section 41(6)(c) to the appropriate person is to be read as a reference to the relevant person. 5 In this regulation, “ relevant person ” means “R” or, if R is deceased— a the adult survivor, or b if there is no adult survivor, R’s personal representatives. CHAPTER 4 Benefits for children Benefits for children 33 1 This regulation applies where— a R is deceased, b R is survived by a child who— i is not living in the same household as an adult survivor of R, and ii is entitled to benefits in respect of R under a judicial legacy scheme, and c the benefits payable under the judicial legacy scheme in respect of the child are, in the opinion of the scheme manager of the scheme, less valuable (looked at in the round) than those that would have been payable in respect of the child under the 2015 scheme. 2 The benefits payable in respect of the child under the judicial legacy scheme, so far as they are determined by reference to R’s relevant service, are such benefits as would have been payable in respect of the child, so far as they are determined by reference to R’s relevant service, if R had been a member of the 2015 scheme. CHAPTER 5 Partial retirement Partial retirement notice 34 1 Paragraph (2) applies where— a R exercised a partial retirement option under regulation 60(2) of the 2015 Regulations in respect of any fee-paid judicial office, and b the conditions set out in regulation 27(1) of FPJR 2017 are met in respect of R. 2 A notice in respect of R that complies with the requirement in regulation 27(3)(a) of FPJR 2017 is treated as having been given in accordance with sub-paragraph (3)(b) of that regulation if it is received by the appropriate Minister before the end of the notification period. 3 A notice under paragraph (2) has effect on the date agreed by the member and the scheme manager under regulation 61(1)(b) of the 2015 Regulations in relation to the exercise of the partial retirement option referred to in paragraph (1)(a). CHAPTER 6 Benefits and contributions previously paid or payable Benefits previously paid or payable 35 1 Paragraph (2) applies in relation to any payments purporting to be benefits that the 2015 scheme has at any time paid (“the purported benefits”) to a person so far as— a they are calculated by reference to R’s relevant service in a salaried judicial office, and b they are payments that a person was not entitled to receive as benefits from the 2015 scheme. 2 The purported benefits are to be treated for all purposes— a as not having been paid to the person by the 2015 scheme, but b as having been paid to the person instead by the Part 4 judicial legacy salaried scheme. 3 Paragraph (4) applies in relation to any payments purporting to be benefits that the 2015 scheme has at any time paid (“the purported benefits”) to a person so far as— a they are calculated by reference to R’s relevant service in a fee-paid judicial office, and b they are payments that a person was not entitled to receive as benefits from the 2015 scheme. 4 The purported benefits are to be treated for all purposes— a as not having been paid to the person by the 2015 scheme, but b as having been paid to the person instead by the judicial legacy fee-paid scheme. 5 Where, after taking into account the effect of paragraphs (2) and (4)— a a judicial legacy scheme owes a person an amount in respect of benefits which are calculated by reference to R’s relevant service in a judicial office, or b a person owes a judicial legacy scheme an amount in respect of such benefits, such amount must be paid in accordance with regulation 37. Pension contributions previously paid or payable 36 1 Paragraph (2) applies where R has made any payments purporting to be pension contributions under the 2015 scheme (“the purported contributions”) which— a are calculated by reference to R’s relevant service in a salaried judicial office, and b were payments which, had R been recognised as a full protection member of a judicial legacy scheme in relation to that service, R would not have been required to pay to the 2015 scheme. 2 The purported contributions are to be treated for all purposes— a as not having been paid by R to the 2015 scheme, but b as having been paid by R instead to the Part 4 judicial legacy salaried scheme. 3 Paragraph (4) applies where R has made any payments purporting to be pension contributions under the 2015 scheme (“the purported contributions”) which— a are calculated by reference to R’s relevant service in a fee-paid judicial office, and b were payments which, had R been recognised as a full protection member of a judicial legacy scheme in relation to that service, R would not have been required to pay to the 2015 scheme. 4 The purported contributions are to be treated for all purposes— a as not having been paid by R to the 2015 scheme, but b as having been paid by R instead to the judicial legacy fee-paid scheme. 5 Where, after taking into account the effect of paragraphs (2) and (4)— a a judicial legacy scheme owes a person an amount in respect of pension contributions which are calculated by reference to R’s relevant service, or b a person owes a judicial legacy scheme an amount in respect of such contributions, such amount must be paid in accordance with regulation 38. CHAPTER 7 Corrections for pension benefits and contributions Pension benefits and lump sum benefits 37 1 This regulation applies where— a a notice in respect of an option to take partial retirement is treated as having been given in relation to R by virtue of regulation 34(2), b R is a pensioner member in relation to a judicial office, or c R is deceased. 2 Where— a the aggregate of the pension benefits that (after taking into account the effect, if any, of regulation 35(2) or (4)) have been paid under a judicial legacy scheme to any person (“ the beneficiary ”) in respect of R’s relevant service in a judicial office, exceeds b the aggregate of the pension benefits to which the beneficiary was entitled under the scheme in respect of the service, the beneficiary must pay the difference to the scheme. 3 Where— a the amount mentioned in sub-paragraph (2)(a), is less than b the amount mentioned in sub-paragraph (2)(b), the scheme manager must pay the difference to the beneficiary. 4 Where— a the aggregate of the lump sum benefits that (after taking into account the effect, if any, of regulation 35(2) or (4)) have been paid under a judicial legacy scheme to any person (“ the beneficiary ”) in respect of R’s relevant service in a judicial office, exceeds b the aggregate of the lump sum benefits to which the beneficiary was entitled under the scheme in respect of the service, the beneficiary must pay the difference to the scheme. 5 Where— a the amount mentioned in sub-paragraph (4)(a), is less than b the amount mentioned in sub-paragraph (4)(b), the scheme manager must pay the difference to the beneficiary. Pension contributions 38 1 Where— a the paid contributions amount for an in-scope tax year in respect of R’s relevant service in a judicial office, exceeds b the payable contributions amount for that tax year in respect of that service, the scheme manager must (directly or indirectly) pay an amount in respect of the difference to the appropriate person. 2 Where— a the paid contributions amount for an out-of-scope tax year in respect of R’s relevant service in a judicial office, exceeds b the payable contributions amount for that tax year in respect of that service, no amount is to be paid by the scheme manager in respect of the difference to the appropriate person. 3 Where— a the paid contributions amount for an in-scope or out-of-scope tax year in respect of R’s relevant service in a judicial office, is less than b the payable contributions amount for that tax year in respect of that service, the appropriate person must pay pension contributions to the scheme in respect of the difference. 4 A reference in this regulation to “the paid contributions amount” for a tax year in respect of R’s relevant service in a judicial office is a reference to the sum of— a the aggregate of the pension contributions that (after taking into account the effect, if any, of regulation 36(2) and (4)), have been paid under the scheme by R in the tax year in respect of so much of the service as was not PPA opted-out service, and b where any of the relevant service was PPA opted-out service— i the aggregate of the pension contributions and any voluntary contributions that (after taking into account the effect, if any, of regulation 36(2) and (4)) have been paid by R under the partnership pension account in the tax year in respect of the PPA opted-out service, or ii if lower, the aggregate of the pension contributions that were payable under the scheme by R for that tax year in respect of the PPA opted-out service. 5 A reference in this regulation to “the payable contributions amount” for a tax year in respect of R’s relevant service in a judicial office means the aggregate of the pension contributions that were payable under the relevant judicial legacy scheme by R for that tax year in respect of the service. 6 For the purposes of this regulation— a a tax year is “ in-scope ” in relation to R if any necessary adjustment to the amount of income tax paid by R in respect of PAYE income for the tax year is capable of being enforced by HMRC under PAYE regulations; b a tax year is “ out-of-scope ” in relation to R if it is not in-scope in relation to R. 7 A reference in this regulation to pension contributions or voluntary contributions paid by a person under a partnership pension account is a reference to the amount of the contributions paid, net of any tax relief under section 188 of FA 2004 (relief for contributions) to which the person was entitled in respect of them. CHAPTER 8 Compensation for voluntary payments Compensation for purported special payments to buy out early payment reduction 39 1 This regulation applies where R has, during the period of relevant service, made any purported special payments .... 2 For the avoidance of doubt, any rights that would otherwise have been secured by the purported special payments , had R been entitled to make them, are extinguished. 3 The scheme manager must pay to the appropriate person an amount by way of compensation equal to— a the aggregate of the purported special payments made by R, less b an amount determined by the scheme manager in respect of the value of the tax relief under section 188 of FA 2004 (member contributions) to which P would have been entitled in respect of those payments had R been entitled to make them . 4 Where determining the tax relief amount under paragraph (3)(b), the scheme manager may adopt an approach which is reasonable in all the circumstances to approximate that amount. 5 The following provisions of the PSP Directions 2022 apply in relation to a determination under paragraph (3)(b) as they apply in relation to a determination under direction 23(2)— a direction 23(4) (provision of explanation); b direction 23(5) and (6) (appeals). Compensation for payments for purported added pension 40 1 This regulation applies where— a R has, during the period of relevant service, made any purported added pension payments ..., and b regulation 129(1)(b) of the 2015 Regulations does not apply in respect of those payments. 2 Where the appropriate person makes a request for compensation in respect of the purported added pension payments— a for the avoidance of doubt, any rights that would otherwise have been secured by the purported added pension payments , had R been entitled to make them, are extinguished, and b the scheme manager must pay to the appropriate person an amount by way of compensation equal to— i the aggregate of the purported added pension payments paid by R, less ii an amount determined by the scheme manager in respect of the value of the tax relief under section 188 of FA 2004 (member contributions) to which R would have been entitled in respect of those payments had R been entitled to make them . 3 Where determining the tax relief amount under paragraph (2)(b), the scheme manager may adopt an approach which is reasonable in all the circumstances to approximate that amount. 4 The following provisions of the PSP Directions 2022 apply in relation to a determination under paragraph (2)(b) of this regulation as they apply in relation to a determination under direction 23(2)— a direction 23(4) (provision of explanation); b direction 23(5) and (6) (appeals). 5 A request under paragraph (2) is irrevocable and must be— a made by notice to the scheme manager, b in a form required by the scheme manager, and c received by the scheme manager before the end of the notification period.
